The Nicca 5L, also known as the Tower 45 or 46 when sold by Sears and Roebuck, is a rare 35mm rangefinder camera from the late 1950s that's often considered superior to even the Leica IIIg. It offers an incredibly smooth shooting experience with its lever advance, convenient M3-style back loading, and automatic flash synchronization.
