We are pleased to be able to present the camera auction on June 1, 2023 at 2 p.m. in OstLicht, gallery for photography. 1991 was the year of birth of the first Leica shop worldwide, in 2001 my team and I started the WestLicht auction house in Vienna. After 34 successful auctions with countless world record prices for cameras, I handed the camera auctions over to a group, also to concentrate on the WestLicht Photo and Camera Museum, the OstLicht Photo Gallery and the OstLicht Photo Auctions. However, when I was recently offered a private lover's fantastic collection, I couldn't resist the temptation. Especially since this man acquired most of the pieces he collected from me over the course of many years and always attached great importance to perfect condition and originality. The result is a collection that we are now offering with great pleasure in this auction. The traditional OstLicht Photo Auction begins on June 2 at 5 p.m. CEST. We cordially invite you to come to Vienna or to participate as a long-distance bidder. Our long-standing auctioneer Niki Schauerhuber and the team look forward to welcoming you.

English
The Homeos stereo camera was one of the first ever using 35mm film and a processor of Leica. Although not a huge commercial success, with only about 500 cameras produced, it was an innovative design, and helped point the way to modern 35mm cameras. This example, a preseries or prototype camera is by far the most early number (no.3) known to exist with Krauss Tessar 4.5/28mm lenses nos.114425/26 (approx. 1916). It is different to later cameras with other features on the top plate, the brass parts are not nickelled and has no leather covering. It is in fantastic condition with the original brown leather case, film spools, tripod adapter and the beautiful mahogany Homeos stereo viewer.
Deutsch
Die Homeos-Stereokamera war eine der ersten Kameras die den 35mm Kinofilm verwendete und war damit ein Vorläufer der Leica. Obwohl sie mit nur etwa 500 produzierten Kameras kein großer kommerzieller Erfolg war, war sie ein innovatives Design und half, den Weg zu modernen Kleinbildkameras zu weisen. Die angebotene Kamera, eine Vorserien- oder Prototyp-Kamera, trägt die früheste bekannte Nummer (Nr.3) mit Krauss Tessar 4.5/28mm Objektiven Nrn.114425/26 (das Herstellerjahr der Objektive ist etwa 1916). Die Kamera unterscheidet sich von späteren Modellen. Es gibt Unterschiede auf der Deckkappe und sie hat keinen Lederbezug. Die Messingteile sind nicht vernickelt, wie bei den bekannten Kameras. Das Set ist in einem fantastischen Zustand mit dem originalen braunen Lederkoffer, Filmspulen, Stativadapter und dem schönen Mahagoni-Homeos-Stereobetrachter.
