The MD was also built in special versions for German telephone meter recording. The telephone system is managed by the Post Office, and so these special cameras are known as "Post" cameras. They are available in the normal 24x36 image size, as well as 24x27. These were normally fitted with a fixed focus 35/2.8 Summaron lens.
A small number of MD cameras were finished in a crinkle gray, with matching Visoflex reflex housing, to match some of the Leitz microscope equipment.. The rest were all finished in chrome.
