Subject: [Leica] Any information about the Leica 110 prototype?

Hi fellow Leica-ers,

I was skimming another day in McKeown's camera guide and found a Leica
camera I swear I never had seen before or heard going for 5 grand. It was
some prototype Leica 110 camera (takes Kodak 110 film I believe) built
during the early 1970s which never went to mass market. Does anyone know
about this model at all? Why was it scrapped for general public release--no
money to be made? Bad picture quality? Strangely enough it probably could
have been just as comparable to the Leica c11 APS camera which they have
nowadays.

All the same, apart from collecting a Leica 110 prototype, I wonder whether
one can still find 110 film to shoot pictures with it...

Leica-fully,
Alfie
