First Leica camera with interchangeable lens that was standardised without being matched with specific production lenses!
Comes with rare Wollensak 50mm f3.5 Velostigmat 

This is a VERY RARE NEW YORK Leica I STANDARD camera set. Post war camera that was assigned for the NEW YORK market and marked as such. With its matching E LEITZ INC. N.Y. box and the most rare WOLLENSAK VOLOSTIGMAT 50mm f3.5 lens and front CAP.


I also recently sold a Leica Standard NY with the 50mm for $4995.
It was a bit cleaner but this is a great value considering and this is not an easy set to find especially with the NY body cap and box which I did not have in my other listing which sold for significantly more.


Includes
Wollensak 50mm Velostigmat f3.5 lens
Original Leitz New York Body Cap
Original matching Leica NY marked red presentation case. NICE!
