編號 107 的 1923 年 Leica 0-Serie 古董相機價值 €1,320,000 (約 1,467 萬港元) ,是 Leica 0-series 的第7款相機,也是第一台出口到美國的 Leica 相機,當年製造了 25 部來測試市場反應,後來並沒有推出市面便停產,數量之少,極為珍貴。
這次拍賣是由WestLicht Photographic Auction 舉辦,拍賣底價 €200,000,原本預計將以 €50,000-450,000 賣出。據報這次拍賣得勝者是一名亞裔收藏家,用了不到20分鐘便勝出拍賣。
這一台編號 107 的 Leica 相機在 2007 年在 同一拍賣會以 €336,000 賣出,不到四年便升值3倍,看到古董相機也是不錯的投資選擇。
