Wow!

Here's a little more about that and two other very rare cameras that were sold at the same auction. The Seattle Times article seems to be overly concerned with the fact that the camera was used to shoot Picasso, as opposed to the fact that Leica only made 4 of them.

I wonder did the pictures of Picasso come out with both eyes on the same side of his nose?

Any LF cameras ever fetch high prices?

Don't let the brass lens cartel find out about this, as the price of brass might start approaching that of gold...

[Hugo Zhang]

Some of lenses...

Meh, a K-1000 can do pretty much the same thing.

[Sevo]

And such a tiny one too - just think what impact this must have on our much bigger ones! ;-)

[C. D. Keth]

It would be a leica.

Among the cameras constructed by the Soviets for their planned lunar expeditions and offered for the first time here, the “Arsenal Kiev SKD Space Camera” (10,000 Euro) achieved a price of 57,600 Euro

Wow...A $74,800 Kiev.
