An experimental, prototype square-format Leica M model from 1954 that lacks a built-in viewfinder or rangefinder was surprisingly popular at the most recent Wetzlar Camera Auction, pulling in an astounding 687,500 euros hammer price.
A 1957 Leica MP black paint edition, the same year and model as the one that sold for $1.34 million about a year ago, is coming to auction next month.
A Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 lens was the focus of a bidding war at the Wetzlar Camera Auctions (WCA) last week that saw it climb to a final value of 500,000 euros (about $580,000), the highest ever value for a camera lens.
Wetzlar Camera Auctions is set to offer an exceedingly rare Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L lens for sale on October 9, 2021.
