What it is

{"overview":"The Leitz Standard is a 35mm screw-mount camera made by Ernst Leitz of Wetzlar and introduced in the 1930s. As of today, what a Standard is worth depends heavily on finish, variant designation, and mechanical condition.","buying_guide":"Check the cloth shutter curtains for pinholes and light leaks, and test speeds across the range since the blinds stiffen with age. Verify the lens mount is true and that film transport and rewind operate smoothly; service for 1930s Leitz bodies is largely limited to specialist repairers and donor parts.
