A Leica camera from 1958 made more than five times its estimated value and has claimed a new auction record.
'After a bidding battle between two collectors the auction highlight, a rare Leica MP2 from 1958 with a starting price of Euros 80,000, was sold for an incredible Euros 402,000,' said a spokesman for the Westlicht Photographica Auction which took place in Vienna, Austria on Saturday.
'A private collector from Asia now owns the most expensive Leica camera ever sold at auction.'
