The Red Flag Chinese camera, one of the most sought after by collectors, a copy of the M series Leica.
Mao Tze Dun's (former Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party) wife, Jiang, liked the Leica M so much she ordered a factory to be built for making these cameras. Not many of them were built and very few 'escaped' over the Chinese borders.
This one is offered for sale on the Fleabay, however, I can't afford it, it's over $12,000!
Anyone offering to buy this one for me? As a Valentine's Day present?
