Description from the seller

The device named ELDIA, even in its simplicity, represents an extremely important accessory in Leica’s history, as part of those devices designed by Oskar Barnack in an effort to make his creation universal and complete.

History:
The ELDIA dates from 1927, shortly after the presentation of Leica. It is a device for contact printing of 35mm negatives on Agfa slide film or silver bromide paper.
As can be seen from the filing and grant of American patents dating to 1931, the name of the inventor Oskar Barnack stands out.

Features:
The ELDIA, which weighs 250 g, features an elegant black finish that is slightly textured, with a small door that opened to insert the film, a receiving spool and a film-advancing spool, while two small windows are made of red glass to protect the film.

Excellent condition, as per the photographs. Complete with Leitz Red Case.

Professional and trackable shipping with an international courier.
