These specialised cameras were built by Ernst Leitz Wetzlar for the German Postal and Telecommunications service (Deutsche Bundespost) for photographing telephone meters and registers. Based on a simplified MD-type body without rangefinder or conventional viewfinder, it is fitted with a Leitz Wetzlar Summaron 1:2.8\/35 lens, serial 2311491. The diamond “PT” marking on the top plate is consistent with Post-service instruments of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Leica Postkamera 24×36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Number: 1141908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction: 1966 (batch of 72 units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: Summaron 35 mm f\/2.8 (serial 2311491)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Leica M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Format: 24×36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended Use: Telephone meter recording (Deutsche Bundespost)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe chrome top plate and base show typical wear, light scratches and some oxidation consistent with service use. The black vulcanite covering has moderate wear and minor marks. The Summaron lens displays light cosmetic wear on the finish. Glass elements show normal reflections. The “PT” sticker remains on the top plate. As a specialised Post camera, full modern photographic functionality is not expected; condition is consistent with a well-used institutional instrument of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eMade only in very limited numbers for the South African department of Post and Tele-communications.
