Showa Kogaku Leotax TV

{"overview":"The Leotax TV is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Showa Kogaku of Japan, part of the Leotax line of Leica screw-mount bodies built in the post-war decades. With so few data points, what a Leotax TV sells for in any given sale is highly dependent on cosmetic condition and shutter function, and clean working examples can price above tatty ones.","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 bodies of this era. Confirm the Leica thread-mount (LTM\/M39) lens screws cleanly and that the take-up spool and film advance operate without slipping.
