What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz M4-M is a motor-capable variant of the 35mm M-mount rangefinder line, built to accept the Leica Motor M drive unit. As of 2026, what an M4-M is worth today depends heavily on whether the original motor unit is present and functional; complete motorised sets sell for materially more than bodies alone, which is why the price range is so stretched.","buying_guide":"Inspect the rangefinder patch for fading or misalignment, check shutter speeds across the range (the slow speeds on older Leitz cloth shutters are the first to drag), and confirm the motor coupling on the baseplate is intact and undamaged. Confirm whether the lot includes the matching Leica Motor M drive — bodies sold without the motor fetch far less.

Questions
Why is the price range so wide?
The value of an M4-M is tied to whether the matching Leica Motor M is included and working — that single factor can move the price by several thousand pounds.
Are spare parts still available?
General M-series shutter and rangefinder parts are still supported by independent Leica technicians, but original motor drive units are scarce on the used market.
