Over the years, Leica has
made a number of specially modified cameras for testing purposes. These cameras do present an exclusive range
of extremely rare cameras, many of which are unknown to the general public.
I just obtained some
pictures of one of these Leica test cameras.
This one was specially modified by Leitz to check focus at the film
plane and to show the internal workings of the rangefinder. The camera does not show any specific
engravings, but it has a special serial number engraved to designate it as a
special test model.
If any reader of this blog
has any information about other modified test cameras, I would very much
appreciate hearing about it.
