Rare Leica becomes �most expensive� 35mm camera

A rare O-series Leica camera from 1923-24 � one of just over 20 made to test the market � raised more than to �240,000 at auction on Saturday.

As we reported last month, the camera, carrying the serial number '107', is in 'excellent and fully working condition', according to the auctioneers in Vienna.

'The Leica No. 107 was sold for the highest sum ever achieved at an auction for a 35mm camera or a Leica,' claimed a spokesman for the Westlicht Photographica auction.
