What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz MS is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Leitz. The wide spread reflects how condition-sensitive and thinly traded this model is — wholesale saleroom results in 2026 still hinge heavily on cosmetics, mechanical health and any accompanying paperwork, and a single clean example can sell for several times what a tired one is worth.","buying_guide":"As with any Leitz rangefinder, inspect the rangefinder patch for contrast and vertical alignment, fire the shutter at every speed listening for sluggishness at the slow end, and check the film-advance and rewind for smoothness.

Questions
Why does the price vary so much?
The model trades thinly, so each sale carries a lot of weight, and condition, completeness and provenance can swing the final price by a multiple rather than a percentage.
