From the editor

A special limited LEICA M4 camera released in 1750 units in 1975 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first production LEICA. 1400 units were produced in Wetzlar and 350 in Canada. Each camera had a three digit number, preceded by a letter from the word LEICA. On the front it was engraved "50 JAHRE", with the 50 surrounded by oak leaves.
