1955- Leica M3 - 730 ELC

人們普遍認為，1955 年僅生產了 50 台加拿大版 M3（序號 746451 - 746500）。然而，我們在館藏中發現的這台機器證明，加拿大工廠（ELC）的生產開始時間可能比歷史記錄所顯示的要早得多。

IT WAS WIDELY BELIEVED THAT ONLY 50 UNITS OF THE CANADIAN-VERSION M3 WERE PRODUCED IN 1955 (SN 746451 - 746500). HOWEVER, THE DISCOVERY OF THIS UNIT IN OUR COLLECTION PROVES THAT THE CANADIAN PLANT (ELC) LIKELY COMMENCED PRODUCTION MUCH EARLIER THAN HISTORICAL RECORDS SUGGEST.
