• $10,000,000 for 3 Leica Cameras

  
  Anyway you look at it, that's a lot of money. But it's a pretty a good deal for some historical Leica cameras, don't you think? Money is no object for these limited edition units from serial productions that were once owned by some of the most influential industry lensmen. See the M3D, Luxus Leica, and MP that went for €8,240,000.

• Leicavit MP: The $70,000 Camera

  
  Lens not included, by the way. Vintage camera buyer and seller Roozbeh Pirghibi recently scored one of the rarer Leica models from the late 1950s, the choice camera of esteemed photojournalists then because of its tough body and quick performance. With only 500 units ever made and some of the most historic post-War photos captured, it's no wonder the Leicavit MP has such an exorbitant price tag.
