Pre-war Leica camera collection

Some cameras and items of my pre-war Leica camera-collection.
Yes, "Hector" ist wrong spelled in the video, "Hektor" is the correct name of the 13,5cm lens.
Background-music was a old pre-war advertising-song for the Leica-camera.


P.S. Some may recognize this video from my old Youtube-account. Unfortunately i had to delete my old account and create a new one, because i wasn't able to "connect" my old Youtube-account with my new Google-account. Maybe because my old account was created before Google took over Youtube.

there are replicas of these on the internet, in your opinion do you think they would be functional and could take pictures???, i am thinking of getting a replica as the real ones are becoming very rare and hard to get

The russian Zorki and FED-replicas are often to find in a good condition and almost in the same quality as the original Leicas. Only the mechanical parts often needs a overhaul and cleaning.

Did you read the title? "PRE-WAR Leica camera collection"! The III was build in 1934, the IIIa in 1939! The song is even older (from the late 1920s) and only a german advertising-song for the Leica-cameras as it was usual at this time for promoting products.

@ancestorsrelic The nazis were in power during 1939

Yes, and if you would know something about Ernst Leitz jun., you would know too, that he called the Nazis as "brown monkeys" and that he safed a lot of jewisch workers by sending them into other countries (especially to the USA) to safe their lifes.

@bttfjulesvernemarty just because he owns a pre war German camera does not make him a Nazi, i bet you know plenty of people that own German cars like bmw or Volkswagon, bet you dont call them Nazi's.
