<p>Each year, the WestLicht Photographica auction house puts some incredible historic cameras on the block and lets us mere mortals "oh" and "ah" at them before some collector with deep pockets plunks down hundreds of thousands of dollars to take them home (where they will, of course, be used daily right?).</p><p>There's always special items going up for auction remember Alfred Eisenstaedt's 1931 Leica IIIa with which he shot his iconic V-J Day kiss photo? That camera sold for almost $150,000 and the 24th camera auction set for November 23rd is no different.</p><p>The preview shows off your typical crop of old cameras (mostly Leica) complete with interesting historical finds, but two cams stand out: the one millionth Leica and a Nikon F3 that was modified by NASA for use in space.</p><p>The 1,000,000th Leica is expected to bring in the most on the block, with estimates topping out at 500,000 Euros or about $679,000 US. It was made in 1960 and given to Dr. Ludwig Leitz by Willi Stein, the 'Father' of the Leica M3, and will come to auction in mint condition with a matching mint CF Summicron 2/50mm lens. (Side Note: The 1,000,001st Leica was given to the aforementioned Alfred Eisenstaedt).</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/09/27/one-millionth-leica-modified-nikon-f3-nasa-camera-auction-westlicht/">Keep reading...</a></p>
