My Leotax TV2 Merite is frequently misidentified as “Merit.”

It’s shown here with a Nikkor HC f2 5cm lens.

This is a very late 1958 to early 1959 model.

My set includes the original box, case, strap, and instruction booklet.

The Merite is one of the larger Leica-like cameras made in the 1950s, larger than the Leica IIIg and the Nicca 3-S. More pictures to follow.

What’s your favorite Leo?
