What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz 0-Series is a 35mm rangefinder-style camera produced in a very limited pre-production run as part of the earliest Leitz small-format camera development, predating full commercial release. With only one sale on file and no recent activity, today's value for any individual example would depend almost entirely on serial number, originality and provenance, and a fresh sale could land well above or below that figure.","buying_guide":"At this rarity level the buying process is dominated by authentication: serial number verification, originality of body engravings, lens, shutter mechanism and finish, and a documented ownership chain are the critical checks.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Why is the price so high?
The 0-Series was made in a very small pre-production quantity, and the surviving population that reaches the open market is a tiny fraction of that, which is the main driver of price.
