Leica MP No. 367& 368 dual units, 1957 Here are TWO Leica MP chrome cameras with consecutive serial numbers (no.367 and no.368) which were auctioned some time ago by Leicashop®. Both of these Leica MP cameras are in very good and absolutely original and perfect working condition, they are also engraved internally P367 and P368, both with Leicavit MP, it is the first time 2 MP cameras with consecutive numbers are offered for sale! MP 368 was Tazio Secchiaroli's personal camera with Summilux 1.4/50mm. It comes with one of Secchiaroli's photo books with a handwritten statement, that he used the Leica MP 368 for many years and also for his work on the set of Fellini's La Dolce Vita. The “grandfather of all paparazzi,” as Tazio Secchiaroli is often called, worked his way up from street reporter to star photographer and star portraitist in Cinecittà. From the time De Sica’s “Marriage Italian Style” with Sophia Loren celebrated its first success, Secchiaroli accompanied the actress in her professional and private life till his death in 1989. Secchiaroli was also photographer and friend to Federico Fellini who ensured the former’s place in history with the film “La Dolce Vita” (1960). The startup price for this auctioned Leica MP was EUR 32.000 & a Hammer price incl. premium @ EUR 40.000 ! * NOTE;- Indicative price here in this site were based original prices published on previous auction literature/references. Prices may vary according to gradual yearly premium, supply/demand equations, and/or other renewed valuation methods.
