Showa Kogaku Leotax K

{"overview":"The Leotax K is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced in Japan by Showa Kogaku during the 1950s. Today the camera's value is fairly stable at saleroom level, though condition is the decisive factor — clean, working bodies sit toward the upper end of that range while cosmetically tired examples sell for less.","buying_guide":"Check the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes, capping at the higher speeds, and even curtain travel, as recovering is the most common expense on these bodies. Inspect rangefinder alignment and patch contrast, vulcanite or covering shrinkage, and the condition of the screw-mount flange.
