auctioned

The late Cuban photographer Alberto Korda's Leica camera has been sold at auction for $20,340. What's notable about this camera is that it's very likely the one that captured Korda's iconic portrait of Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara -- a photo titled Guerrillero Heroico.

It's the end of the road for the company behind Rolleiflex cameras. Just two months after Fujifilm put up one of its major film factories at auction, DHW Fototechnik is doing a liquidation auction of its own, selling off the massive amounts of equipment used in manufacturing twin-lens reflex cameras.

The auction gives us an unprecedented glimpse into the tools and spaces that were once used to great cameras with the iconic Rollei brand.
