Leica MDa

{"overview":"The Leitz MDa is a 35mm camera built on the Leica M-series body, produced from the late 1960s into the 1970s. Condition of the shutter and trim, and the presence of the correct baseplate and cassette-loading key, are the main factors pushing a body toward the upper end of that range.","buying_guide":"Inspect the cloth shutter carefully for pinholes and capping, as curtain replacement is the main service cost on these bodies. Check that the film-advance and rewind are smooth, the baseplate latch is tight, and the M bayonet shows no play — the MDa is often bought for laboratory or Visoflex use, so mount condition matters more than cosmetics.
