Leica M-A (Typ 127)
The Leica M-A (Typ 127) is a fully mechanical 35mm film rangefinder camera using the Leica M bayonet mount. Introduced in 2014, it was positioned at the top of the M film line as a battery-free body with no light meter, aimed at users who want a purely mechanical workflow.
Auction data for the M-A (Typ 127) is thin: a clean example sold for £1,900 at UK auction in late 2025, which gives the only firm hammer-price reference point heading into 2026. Because that figure is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail asking price, dealer and private-sale listings today typically sit well above what the camera sells for under the hammer, and a single data point should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market value.

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 M-A (Typ 127) worth at auction?
The most recent UK hammer result on file is £1,900 from November 2025; with only one verified sale, that figure is the best available reference for current auction value rather than a confirmed market median.
How much does a Leica M-A (Typ 127) sell for second-hand?
At saleroom level the camera sells for around £1,900 based on the latest recorded result, though retail and dealer prices for this still-current model are noticeably higher.
Does the price of an M-A depend on condition?
Yes — because the M-A is valued partly for its cosmetic finish and mechanical feel, examples with clean brass plates, original leatherette and a properly aligned rangefinder command the strongest prices, while marked or serviced bodies sit below the headline value.
