Leica KE-7A – Elcan 50 F2.0 Military camera set

The Leica KE-7A is a rare military-grade rangefinder camera developed in the early 1970s for the U.S. Army. Based on the Leica M4, it was engineered for durability and reliability in extreme conditions, with enhancements such as improved sealing against dust and moisture, and operational capability in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C. Only 505 units were produced—460 for military use and 45 for civilian sale—making it one of the most collectible Leica cameras today .
