What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz KE-28B is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Leitz for military use. With so few wholesale saleroom data points, current values in 2026 cannot be reliably stated, though scarcity and military-issue provenance typically support strong prices when examples surface at auction. Buyers asking what a KE-28B is worth today should treat any single figure as indicative only.","buying_guide":"Because the KE-28B was produced in small numbers for military contracts, originality is the central concern: matching serial numbers, correct issue markings, and unmodified bodies command the highest prices. Inspect the rangefinder patch, shutter operation across all speeds, and the condition of any original-issue lens.

Questions
Why is the KE-28B price higher than a standard Leitz rangefinder?
The KE-28B was a military-contract camera produced in limited numbers, so collector demand and rarity tend to push its value above comparable civilian Leitz rangefinders.
