Re: The calculator is dead - viva la HP 15C Limited Edition Message #37 Posted by Donald Ingram on 4 Sept 2011, 3:17 a.m., in response to message #1 by Joerg Woerner
I think Leica camera wins the prize for oldest re-release:
In 2002 the Leica 0 series was re-released : a clone on the 1923 original.
There was a modern formulation of the 50mm Anastigmat lens and a small modification to take 135 film cassettes, which had not been invented in 1923, but that was it.
I have one - it's a fun camera.
To keep the post on topic; I also have an original HP-15C and have every intention of getting a HP-15C-LE as a day to day replacement.
I don't have an original Leica 0 series : but they do come up at auction occasionally - one sold last year for $1.9 million
