Got a spare $750k? Leica's family tree is for sale

Comments Comments

The Stammbaum, or family tree of cameras, once greeted visitors at Leica's Solms, Germany HQ and includes every model introduced throughout Leica's 167 year history. The collection traces models from rangefinder and SLR's all the way back to the U-r Leica, a prototype 35mm camera designed by Oskar Baranack in 1913.

The Leica family tree.

The auction is open at Christie's through September 14, 2016. According to the auction house, the family tree's assessed value is between £350,000 and £450,000 - a cool $593,000 to $760,000.

If that's a little out of your price range, there's a free PDF download showing the camera models included over at apotelyt.com.
