Leica M10 prototype with 50 Noctilux lens listed for sale on eBay for $35k

By LR admin | Published: March 6, 2018

A silver Leica M10 prototype camera #N08 is currently listed for sale on eBay by Setadel Studios together with a matching 50mm Noctilux f/0.95 ASPH with the same serial number (N08). The price is $34,995.

Update – this camera is fake:

Warning: the Leica M10 N08 camera prototype listed for sale on eBay for $35k is fake

Description from the eBay listing:

This is the prototype pre-production series before the camera went into full production. Lecia made a few fully functional prototype cameras before the M10 was released. This was the most desirable with the best and nicest matching Noctilux 50mm 0.95 ASPH Silver lens. There were other cameras with other lesser lenses but this was the nicest and also the one with the best #8. Lucky #8! I had the prototype MA with a 35mm f1.4 FLE that I sold for $32,500.
