Description
Sehr schön erhaltenes Exemplar der "Saar" Leica - produziert im Jahr 1949 bei Saroptico, St. Ingbert / Saar. Die Montage erfolgte aus Teilen Wetzlarer Fertigung im damals französisch besetzten Saargebiet, um hohe Einfuhrzölle auf deutsche Produkte in Frankreich zu umgehen. Historisch interessant! Insgesamt wurden weniger als 600 Exemplare der "Saar" Leica in den Jahren 1949/50 hergestellt.
Gehäuse mit Vulkanitbezug in "Sharkskin" Struktur. Mit Elmar 1:3.5/5 cm No. 648940. Kleine Separationen in der Hinterlinse, ansonsten sehr saubere Optik.
