In 1936 Leitz introduced a Leica camera for 10 meters of film – the Leica 250 or the “Reporter.” As can be seen from the designation, 250 shots (full 35mm format) could be made without having to put in a new roll of film. In order to achieve that, the camera has two large film cassettes, which gives the Leica “Reporter” its unmistakable appearance. The feature of 1/1000 sec. as fastest exposure speed has been adopted for the Leica 250 as early as 1936 with the introduction of the Leica IIIa Mod. G - resulting in the so-called “GG” model. The 250 GG offered here is in beautiful original condition and in good working order. Included are two matching film spools and an uncoated Elmar 3.5/5cm no.535517.

In the year 1936 Leitz offered a camera for 10 meters of film for 250 exposures – the Leica 250 or the “Reporter.” During World War II some of the Leica 250s were delivered for use in aerial combat. In order to be able to operate the film transport and make a series of shots in the extreme conditions outside a fighter plane, Leitz developed a powerful and reliable electric drive, it was Leica's first electric motor drive. In total 92 specimens of the Leica 250 with electric motor were delivered, less than 15 are known to exist. The cameras were used in STUKA dive bombers, the motors were fixed on the aircraft and the cameras were changed for new films. The Leica 250 GG with electric motor is an absolute rarity in the sphere of Leica collector’s items. Amongst the rarest and most valuable Leitz cameras, it is comparable to the original Leica 0 series of 1923. The development and history of this, the most powerful of all Leicas, is legendary. Camera no.353606 and motor no.10062 are from the same delivery batch on August 21st, 1942 to BLN Berlin (15 cameras and motor drives, delivery number 29353). Motor engraved with body no. 353619 (also from the same batch delivered to the German Air Force). Camera and motor are in fine original and fully working condition (serviced by Ottmar Michaely in 2004), with matching Summitar 2/5cm lens

The Leica 250 GG with electric motor is an absolute rarity in the sphere of Leica collector’s items. Amongst the rarest and most valuable Leitz camera, it is comparable to the original Leica 0 series of 1923. The development and history of this, the most powerful of all Leicas, is legendary. The chance to acquire one at all is extremely small and in this condition, unique. The Leica 250 which is to be auctioned is one of a maximum of 15 cameras with motor still in existence and is in a class of its own. It is the only one in as new condition. The camera and the 24V motor have the same number. The specially made leather bag for camera and motor is also unique. The camera survived the turmoil of the war undamaged because it was not issued to Capt. Koonan of the 9th U.S. Air Force with motor number 10067 until Oct. 9, 1945 (a copy of the Leitz sales book is attached). We believe that Capt. Koonan had the bag specially made by Leitz at the time and that the camera was never used. When in action during the war the cameras were usually changed when a new film was needed, the motor being fixed in the aeroplane. Since our camera was never in action, the original pairing of motor and body was maintained. During the war they were mainly used in the infamous STUKA dive bomber of the German Luftwaffe but the 250 was originally developed for civil purposes. In the year 1936 Leitz brought out a camera for 10 meters of film – the Leica 250 or the “Reporter.” As can been seen from the designation, 250 shots (full 35mm format) could be made without having to put in a new film. In order to achieve this, the camera has two large size cassette housings which gave the Leica “Reporter” its unmistakeable appearance. Since there were only about 1000 of the “Reporter” Leicas ever made in comparison to the production models III and IIIa from the same period with production runs of over 75,000 and 90,000 respectively, it really is a rarity. During World War II some of the L
