I got serial number 1 !


Recommended Posts

I bought the LHSA MP with 35mm f/2 and Leicavit in the hammertone

finish. The Leicavit is serial number 1. I paid a premium but less

than I would ask. I thought Leica kept the number 1 for their museum.

I never dreamed I would ever own anything with a 00001 serial number.

Mine came from KBCamera. There ain't two ! The serial numbers on the sets did not match, the cameras came first 1/2004, then the Leicavit 2/2004, and finally the lens 3/2004. Later they boxed the three together ( see B & H ) but the serial numbers did not match.

Don't even fondle it, any slight blemish will detract from its premium collector value, and I believe that the number 1 has specific significance to the Japanese, (could be Chinese) You can toss of just thinking about your unique Leica item!
