What it is
{"overview":"The Leicaflex was Leitz's first 35mm single-lens reflex camera, introduced in 1964 and produced in Wetzlar. Inspect the meter response, check shutter speeds across the range, and look for dents on the prism housing and brassing on the top plate.

Questions
How much does a Leicaflex sell for compared with the later SL?
The original Leicaflex generally sells for less than the Leicaflex SL because it uses an external, non-TTL meter; this keeps its price and value at the more accessible end of the Leitz SLR market.
Does the Leicaflex meter still work, and does it affect price?
Many surviving meters are inaccurate or dead due to age, and a non-working meter typically halves the price a body achieves at auction.
What lenses fit the Leicaflex?
It takes Leitz bayonet-mount SLR lenses; early one-cam Leicaflex lenses are the native fit, and later Leica R lenses may require attention to cam compatibility.
