A prototype Leica camera has sold for 2.16m euros (£1.74m), setting a new world record for a camera.
It was one of just 25 models created in 1923 as a prototype for the groundbreaking Leica A, which was the first commercially successful compact camera to use 35mm film.
Branded the "null-serie", or 0-Series, only 12 are known to have survived. - BBC
