Hall of Famer
The Leica O-series model pictured below recently sold at the Westerlicht auctions in Vienna, Austria for the highest price ever paid for a camera:
This 1923 predecessor of the Leica 1, described as "98% mintish with a few rub marks", fetched an astonishing €1.32 million (£1.15m, $1.9M).
According to those present, bidding exploded past the pre-auction estimate when word broke out that the item being auctioned was one of the world's first "full frame" cameras.
