Free Leica Brochures

[aslan7]

Greetings all. I have two color brochures for the Leica M6 and three original old Visoflex brochures, "The Range of Visoflex II Photography," "Visoflex III," and "Focusing Bellows II." They are all in excellent condition. Free to the fist person who evinces interest (and doesn't make fun of me for using the Visoflex system).

If one of those M6 brochures is the "revolutionary" one with Che Guevara on the cover, I'd like to add it to my collection. Otherwise, thanks but no thanks.

Seriously, Che used for a luxury, overpriced product? Never saw that one. R

The iconic photograph of Che was taken by Alberto Korda using a Leica, hence its use in the Leica brochure.

Here’s the photo if you haven’t seen it,: https://www.popspotsnyc.com/che/

I have seen the portrait but had no idea it was used for advertising. I think Che and Castro played golf, another high bourgeois pastime. Funny.

Neither Che nor Castro came from poor families. i recall seeing a photo of Che in a chic cafe wearing a Rolex on his wrist.

If this topic is of interest you might want to see the movie The Motorcycle Diaries.
