Showa Kogaku Leotax Special A
The Leotax Special A is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Showa Kogaku. It dates from the post-war era when Japanese makers were building Leica-style screw-mount bodies, and it sat among the smaller-production Leotax variants rather than the more common later models.
With only a single documented UK auction record, pricing for the Leotax Special A is thin: a Christie's sale in January 2001 fetched a hammer price of £1,410. As of today, the wholesale auction market for this specific variant is too sparsely traded to quote a reliable median or range, and any current value would depend heavily on condition and completeness when it next appears at saleroom level.
