The most expensive camera in the world

One might think that the world's most expensive camera would bewith all kinds of technological developments or one of those horriblerich products in which, apropos of overlying gold and diamonds. But no, the value of this camera gives it its historical character as it isone of 25 Leica 0 which served as a prototype of the Leica A, the first commercial compact camera 35mm film.

This, along with their other 24 partners Leica 0-Series was created by the optical engineer Oskar Barnack in 1923 to see if the 35mm film format would succeed among photographers.

From them came the Leica A in 1925, presented at the LeipzigSpring Fair, and that meant a commercial success, reachingseveral versions occur until 1936.

This piece of history of photography sold for 2.16 million euros at auction at the Galerie Westlich Photographica Vienna, Austria. In this way exceeds the former by almost double, another Leica 0 for1.32 million euros.

Only 12 of these cameras are still in circulation, but for the price they are purchasing and the interest of the public private buyers probablycan not continue seeing them.

Yes, I know that for more than 2 million minimum is to have at leastmicroUSB port or Compact Flash slot, but hey, at least has a rollsteampunk game that will go to your hard drive steam.
