<p>Can't see the pictures! Try smaller files!</p>

<p>From all indications (the photos) that is a fake Leica.</p>

[mukul_dube]

<p>Distressing when people join and post just to ask about the value of what they have. Must seem a good option to them, of course...</p>

[JDMvW]

<p>Can't see <em>anything</em> at all here on my browser...</p>

<p>Keep moving, folks.....</p>

[mpo]

<p>from what I see... not much I'd say.</p>

[baisao]

I second Mukul's sentiment.

[SCL]

<p>It would be nice to see a picture though. Usually when people have to ask this question, they are looking at fake Leicas, because they are unknowledgable about the real thing...sort of like "Hey, that's a nice looking (fake) Rolex watch".</p>

[baisao]

<p>Stephen, I was able to right-click the red "x" and select show image: it is a Russian fake (Zorki), replete with gold plate and alligator skin. Even if it was a real Leica, I would never consider buying something so tacky, not even as an investment.</p>

[baisao]

My apologies: I just reread my last post and it doesn't read as I intended it. I am not an authority on what is tasteful and

what is not.

What's with tacky? This camera would match my shoes perfectly! :-)</p>

[JDMvW]

<p>Ah.</p>

<p>I never did figure out how the Red Army came to capture my Swedish Army Leica in gold and rosewood (no tacky alligator skin here).</p><div></div>

[kyoken74]

<p>Tasteful or not, it certainly is conspicuously ornamented. In that sense, the word "tacky" does apply without further judgment.<br>

I hate to disappoint the original poster who may have thought he stumbled upon something valuable, but I must admit I share the sentiment of many who responded. It is a little bit tiring to see yet another "Is this authentic?" and "How much is this?" thread.<br>

I did right click to see the pictures. It satisfied my morbid curiosity.</p>

[baisao]

JDM, that's funny!

[christopher_junker1]

<p>Hopefully it will actually take pictures. Regardless of cost, some Zorkis do. Check online for instructions.</p>

[rogerwb]

<p>I think this is the first time I have witnessed 14 responses to a blank page.</p>

[baisao]

Perhaps because it is not blank.

<p><em>I was able to right-click the red "x" and select show image</em><br>

Would be interesting to know why - I have Windows 8 and tried to view the pictures via Google Chrome and Firefox - can't see a thing! (except a little picture icon with Google, which did not respond to right-clicking!)</p>

[mukul_dube]

<p>I can see nothing on three browsers: Iceweasel and Chromium (Debian names for Firefox and Chrome) and Opera.</p>

[mpo]

<p>It seems that the "missing" pictures are hosted in a restricted access server. For those lucky enough, their computers may have the appropriate cookie to see them. Mine doesn't.</p>

[jean_marie_dederen]

<p>Not as nice as the 'leica' bought by a friend on an internet auction lately... </p><div></div>

[jean_marie_dederen]

<p>Tricky part is to get that film cartridge loaded...</p><div></div>

[dhbebb]

<p><em>Not as nice as the 'leica' bought by a friend on an internet auction lately...</em><br>

It's the ultra-rare underwater model (said by some to be the inspiration for the Nikonos) :-)</p>

[jean_marie_dederen]

<p>Well parbleu! You are right! It is a LEIKONOS...</p>

[baisao]

How much is this mintish Russian made Leikonos worth? As a collector I would like a rare Leica to display in my

aquarium.
