The Leotax G was Leotax's last camera. 500 pieces were sold, not enough to save the company from bankruptcy. It was again a camera in Leica style, but not just a Leica copy: Its body was almost like that of a Leica M3, but its viewfinder was like that of a Nikon SP, and it had an old-style Leica M39 screw mount instead of the M3's Leica M bayonet-mount.
While fitted with a sophisticated viewfinder and modern controls the camera has a poor reputation among Japanese repairmen due to its fragile die-cast body.
