1950 Leica Ic is generally considered
a technical camera for scientific work. Usually found mounted to a
microscope or other instrument but sometimes outfitted with a separate
rangefinder and viewfinder on the two accessory shoes. This version has
the 'Sharkskin' covering, an alternative covering to the normal
vulcanite. It is supposed to be a more durable material and was found
only on the Ic, IIc, and IIIc models. A hard to find camera and even
more rare with the sharkskin covering. This camera is based on the IIIc
without slow speeds or rangefinder, and is the successor to the Leica
Standard (E). Comes with an f3.5 / 50mm Elmar
