What it is
{"overview":"The Leotax S is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Showa Kogaku, part of the Leotax line of Leica-style screw-mount bodies made in Japan in the post-war decades. Both results predate today's market by many years, so current values in 2026 should be treated as indicative only and heavily dependent on cosmetic and mechanical condition.","buying_guide":"As with other screw-mount Leotax rangefinders, buyers should check shutter curtains for pinholes, confirm that all shutter speeds fire cleanly, and test rangefinder alignment and viewfinder clarity.
