*Rare* 1939 Drucker Ranger #127 roll film camera for Leica lenses For Sale

THIS IS WHAT YOU\'RE offerDING FOR: Here\'s a rare one for you, the only American made camera for #127 roll film that accepts Leica screw mount lenses! Unique! This is a Ranger, a simple solid body viewfinder camera with cloth focal plane shutter, introduced by Albert Drucker & Company of Chicago around 1939, marketed through Burke & James, for sixteen 1 3/16 x 1 5/8 inch (3 x 4 cm) \"half frame\" exposures on #127 roll film. It comes equipped with its equally scarce original interchangeable \"Polaris\" Anastigmat 50mm f/2.8 collapsible lens in true 39mm Leica thread mount. Not only does the camera use the same interchangeable screw mount as Leica, but also the same flange focal distance, so Leitz lenses will work on the Ranger and the Polaris lens will work on Leica! Wow! This example is excellent overall, very nicely preserved, totally complete and intact, with lively shutter action and clean optics. However, the shutter curtains don\'t properly connect together during cocking, so it\'s in need of some sort of adjustment or repair before you can actually shoot with it. Otherwise, it\'s an extremely rare and essentially unique model that would make an outstanding acquisition for any savvy camera collector.
