Model Description

The MDa MOT combined the finderless technical MDa body with the E. Leitz New York motor system. Only 27 cameras are represented. Examples were supplied for specialized medical equipment, including Zeiss fundus cameras used to photograph the interior of the eye. In such an installation the medical instrument supplied the viewing and optical system, while the Leica body provided the shutter, film transport and 35mm recording medium. Motor advance permitted successive exposures without manual winding. It is therefore a medical and technical camera rather than a motorized version intended primarily for reportage.
