What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz M2-M is a 35mm rangefinder camera using the Leica M bayonet mount, produced as a specialist variant of the M2 built to accept a motor drive. As of today in 2026, the worth of an M2-M is driven almost entirely by condition, completeness and whether a compatible motor is present — clean, documented examples sell for a strong premium over well-used bodies, which is typical for low-production M-series variants.","buying_guide":"Because it is a motor-capable variant, inspect the baseplate coupling and the rear motor contacts carefully, alongside the usual M2 checks: rangefinder patch contrast and vertical alignment, slow-speed accuracy on the cloth shutter, and smoothness of the film advance.

Questions
Why does the M2-M price vary so much?
The M2-M was made in small numbers, so value is highly sensitive to condition, originality and whether the matching motor drive is included; exceptional, complete sets sell for multiples of a plain body.
How much does a Leitz M2-M sell for compared to a standard M2?
The M2-M consistently commands a significant premium over a standard M2 at auction because of its limited production and motor-drive capability.
