[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 56774, member: 6548"] Yes sir...you have me figured out for sure...thanks for posting! :) Isn't it remarkable that someone would pay almost 3 million bucks for an old @ss quirky camera? Westlicht always has the best of the best and I am sure they know what the hell they are talking about but my books say the O series wasn't introduced until 1924 and was a 25 camera run serial nr 101-125 and I believe that is the generally accepted facts. These 25 are known as the "Barnacks" after the creator Oskar Barnack who originally developed the camera much much earlier in 1913-1914 (he was asthmatic who liked to hike and hated lugging around big box cameras so he made the camera from extra pieces of leftover 35mm motion picture film. The original prototype - the Ur-Leica - is in the Leica museum and I would say is worth at least 5 million now...ridiculous!) All modern 35mm cameras owe there existence to these Barnacks... [/QUOTE]
