World record prices for Leica and Nikon cameras

Post by NikonWeb »

Sensational Results at the 18th WestLicht Camera Auction on December 4th 2010:

"After a 20-minute battle between two bidders this auction’s highlight, a rare Leica MP2 from 1958 with a start price of 80,000 EUR, went for incredible 402,000 EUR (incl. premium). A private collector from Asia now posses the most expensive Leica camera ever sold! A WWII Leica Reporter also could multiply its starting price – opened for 70,000 EUR it was sold for 180,000 Euro incl. premium!"

402,000 Euro = $ 521,000
