Please support this Ur-Leica camera model project on Lego Ideas

By LR admin | Published: August 29, 2021

Leica and Lego and my two favorite companies that start with the letter L – maybe that’s why I have a long history of covering every single Lego Leica camera I could find online – check for yourself here.

In addition to the existing Leica M Lego camera I already covered, there is a new Lego Ideas project for an Ur-Leica camera – please support both projects and maybe we can see them materialize one day (I am not connected/related to any of the projects):
