What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz X-Ray is a specialist 35mm camera produced by Leitz for radiographic recording applications rather than general photography. With so few recent data points, what a Leitz X-Ray is worth today in 2026 depends heavily on condition, completeness, and the presence of any original specialist fittings. Because only a small number of examples surface publicly, any fresh listing tends to move the reference range rather than confirm it.","buying_guide":"Given the specialist nature of the model, inspect the shutter for accurate speeds, check the rangefinder and viewfinder for clarity, and verify the originality of any attached or integrated X-ray recording hardware, as non-original modifications materially affect value.

Questions
Why does the price range for the Leitz X-Ray vary so much?
Only a handful of sales are on record, and each example's condition, originality, and any surviving specialist fittings have an outsized effect on the price it sells for.
