Leica MD (Slotted Baseplate) (Silver , 10911) - Camera

Manual focus M-mount 35mm camera introduced by Leica in 1964. The MD is a specialty camera intended for scientific applications such as photomicroscopy. The body resembles the M2 but lacks the viewfinder and rangefinder. This version of the camera has a slotted accessory port on the base plate that accepts 4mm wide special plastic marker strips. This allowed the recording of data onto the negative. The area of the negative that records the subjects was made slightly smaller to accommodate the data strips. Metal body available in silver (10911).
