Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Unknown
Period: 1977 to late 1980's
Canada: Used by a Canadian photojournalist to capture industrial photographs and press photographs for the 'Monetary Times', the 'Globe and Mail' and for various international associations.
Function: Covers a Leica camera for protection.
Technical: Leica produced a series of SLR cameras beginning with the Leicaflex, followed by the SL, the SL2, and then the R series from R3 to R7, which were made in collaboration with the Minolta Corporation. The R3 was the first electronic Leitz SLR. Its design was based on the Minolta XE 1/7. The Leica SLRs were well-received. The optics were excellent, but Leica was slow to produce an auto-exposure model, and never made a version that supported auto-focusing.
