First production batch of 174 Leica cameras had Anastigmat lens. These cameras are in the list of most desired items for any Leica collector.
Second batch of 1000 cameras was produced in the same year of 1925 and had Elmax lens. These cameras are also extremely rare these days.
Third, and most popular, Leica I(A) design had Elmar lens. They were produced starting 1926 up until 1936.
One more rare version had Hektor lens. There were only 1330 of these cameras manufactured during 1930-1931.
