Leica C (Typ112)
The Leica C (Typ 112) is a compact digital camera introduced in 2013, sitting at the entry point of Leica's compact line-up. It pairs a small-sensor body with a fixed zoom lens and built-in electronic viewfinder, aimed at buyers wanting a pocketable Leica-branded camera rather than a rangefinder or interchangeable-lens system.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the C (Typ 112) have spanned roughly £50 to £160, with the limited 2025 results clustering at either end of that band rather than around a settled median. As of today the model trades well below its original retail level, and saleroom values are highly condition-sensitive — tidy, working examples with charger and battery sell for noticeably more than scuffed or untested bodies, which is what a Typ 112 is typically worth in the wholesale market.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leica C (Typ 112) worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices sit between about £50 and £160, so a clean, fully working example is worth toward the upper end of that range while rougher bodies sell for less.
How much does a Leica C (Typ 112) sell for at auction?
On the small sample of 2025 UK saleroom results, the camera has sold for £50 at the low end and £162 at the high end, with price largely driven by cosmetic condition and whether the battery and charger are included.
Is the Leica C (Typ 112) a good value used buy?
For buyers who want a pocket Leica, current used prices represent a steep discount on the original retail price, but value depends heavily on confirming the lens, screen and viewfinder all function correctly before purchase.
