1957 Alta - Bower  was made for New York photo distributor Saul Bower by Misuzu Kogaku Kogyo Co., Ltd., Tokyo. It was produced on special order for a Chicago Scientific Equipment dealer. The camera was used with a leaf shutter of Leitz Micro-Ibso type. The wind knob was only for the film transport. Very little else is known about this unusual Leica MiFilmCa type camera. Production is thought to have been 1957–58 with a total of less than 100 units.  A rare Leica copy indeed.
