Showa Kogaku Leotax F (1956: Leotax Co.)
The Leotax F is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a Leica screw mount, produced in Japan during the 1950s by Leotax Co. (the successor to Showa Kogaku). It belonged to a family of Japanese-built Leica-style rangefinders aimed at photographers seeking an affordable alternative to German bodies of the same period.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result — £200 in 2017 — the Leotax F has a very thin price history at saleroom level today, and that figure should be treated as a sparse data point rather than a reliable market value. Buyers researching what a Leotax F is worth or sells for should expect prices to vary widely based on cosmetic condition, shutter health and whether a period lens is included.
