FOREWORD This lot is an extremely rare 1930s Leitz accessory, the Leica Gun by E. Leitz Inc. of New York, developed the Leica Gun at the suggestion of Attilio Gatti, a celebrated Italian-born, explorer, author and film maker who led thirteen African safaris between the 1920s and 1940s. Gatti urgently needed a hand-held support for the long telephoto lenses he fitted to his Leica camera for rapid sequence wildlife photography. It first appeared in 1938 costing 465 dollars with a 20cm lens and camera but it did not sell well and disappeared around 1940. This particular item has been in the vendor's family since 1951.

FOREWORD Cameras owned by William MacQuitty, author and film maker. William MacQuitty (1905-2004) had a life long passion for photography and film. He produced a variety of feature films, including Street Corner, about women's role in the police force, one of Winston Churchill's favourite films; Above Us the Waves, about miniature submarines attacking the Tirpitz; and A Night to Remember, the definitive account of the sinking of RMS Titanic. As a writer and photographer he travelled the world resulting in seventeen books illustrated with his own photographs; the most renowned was his poster of the funeral mask of Tutankhamun, and his book Tutankhamun: The Last Journey, 1972.

Camera, Summitar 2 50mm lens, lens cap, case, "Red dial" camera.When Ernst Leitz took a chance on his designers radical concept- a compact, high precision camera, shooting 35mm film horizontally- unlike the movie cameras it was borrowed from- little did he know that the Leica Leitz-Camera would set the standard for the next 100 years of personal photography. Not only did the Leica camera establish a format that persists even in today's digital world, but also a reputation for absolute quality- many of photography's preeminent heavy-weights have sworn by Leica; and many of the most cherished images from the last 100 years of photographic history were captured by the slim, rugged perfection of Leica cameras and lenses. For auction is this 1951 Leica IIIf camera (No. 565164) - featuring adjustable diopter, built in rangefinder, a snowy satin chrome finish, and original, removable folding Summitar 2 F50mm lens. The IIIf series introduced features that would bring Leicas into the ultimate echelon of photographic capability- a broad range of shutter speeds, removable lenses using the M39 screw format, and a flash synchronization port with delay settings. This camera comes with its leather case, a Leica lens cap, and features the Red Dial- a unique derivation of the flash control with red enamel lettering instead of the standard black. While all cameras sold through Whitley's are offered in as-is and un-serviced condition unless otherwise noted, this Leica IIIf's winding knob and shutter release winds and fires. All shutter speeds index, but remain un-verified.
