The Leica 250 Reporter is a body variant of the Leica screw mount rangefinder. It was designed to take bulk film by rolls of 10 metres, allowing 250 exposures. The film was charged in special film cassettes (code KOOBF).
Two prototypes Leica 250 DD were made based on the Leica II. According to Luigi Crescenzi in Classic Camera issue 19, s/n 114051 was later modified to a 250 GG and s/n 114052 still exists (in chrome finish).
The Leica 250 FF was based on the Leica III, with slow speeds, and the Leica 250 GG on the Leica IIIa, with 1/1000 top speed. Most were black but some existed in chrome. Less than 1,000 were made. There were many small variations: some had no slow speeds (see here for example), some were coupled to a motor drive. Fake Leica 250 Reporter are known to exist.
Independent craftsmen have modified ordinary Leica cameras to load bulk film. The work can vary from crude to excellent, but these are not Leica 250 Reporter.

Sa nu pui link ca doare degetu'. Lasa sa caute prostu' pe google.
Io cred ca n-ai inteles tu demersu'. Tocmai asta e ideea, sa te duci si sa cauti.
Corect, articolul e plin de indicii dar nu le-am inteles eu.
E ca-n poezia lui Dan Barbilian, are sens doar daca-l cunosti personal pe autor.
Ma rog, nu e vina mea ca tu cauti metadiscursul in tigaie.
Pai si daca nu te-ai inteles cu Barbilian, ce cauti tu la mine in casa, asa, fara sa dai buna ziua?
Nu msi bine te uitai tu la Mulholland Drive si ii explicai chestiile astea lui Lynch?
Nu de alta, da pari ca pierzi timpul pe la mine prin batatura si eu nu mai stau pe Carol Davila sa ma retrag in curte la vecinul meu Barbilian, sa jucam table printre caini.
Ai invins la Internet.
Respectele mele.
