What it is
{"overview":"The Leotax FV is a 35mm rangefinder camera made in Japan by Showa Kogaku, part of the Leotax line of Leica-style screw-mount bodies produced during the 1950s. As of today that spread reflects how much condition, completeness and the presence of an original lens drive what a Leotax FV is worth, so buyers should treat any single figure as indicative rather than a firm market price.","buying_guide":"Inspect the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes, capping and accurate slow speeds, and check the rangefinder patch for contrast and vertical alignment, as these are the most common faults on Leotax screw-mount bodies of this age.
