Description:
I found this typewriter in Leipzig. A student recently owned this machine and gave it to me for a fair price. The Optima works well, but it's not a great typewriter. An ERIKA 10 of the same age (for example) is much more comfortable for writing.

I have been collecting typewriters since 2022. I now own around 50 of them.
I use typewriters every day, either for letters or my diary.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Optima Elite on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Optima Serial Number page and the Optima Elite By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
