Leitz 75mm f/2.5 Summarit-M
The Leitz 75mm f/2.5 Summarit-M is a short-telephoto prime for the Leica M rangefinder bayonet mount, sitting in the more affordable Summarit-M family rather than the faster Summilux or Summicron lines. The 75mm focal length is a classic portrait and short-tele choice for M-system shooters, offering tighter framing than a 50mm while remaining easy to handhold.
UK auction data for this lens is thin, with a single recorded hammer result of £340 in October 2024 — a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a retail asking price. As of 2026, that one data point sets the only documented reference for what a 75mm f/2.5 Summarit-M is worth at auction, and clean, boxed examples with original caps and hood typically sell for more than stripped user copies. With only one verified sale on file, the true market price spread cannot be reliably bracketed from the data provided.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leitz 75mm f/2.5 Summarit-M worth at UK auction?
The only verified UK auction hammer price in the data is £340 from October 2024, so that figure is the best available reference for current value.
How much does a 75mm f/2.5 Summarit-M sell for today?
Based on the single recorded 2024 sale at £340 hammer, that price level is the only documented benchmark; condition, boxed presentation and accessories will move individual results above or below it.
Will this lens fit a Leica R SLR?
No — the Summarit-M is an M-mount rangefinder lens and is not compatible with Leica R-mount SLR bodies.
What should I check before buying one used?
Look for fungus, internal haze, oil on the aperture blades, coating scratches and any stiffness or stickiness in the focus helicoid, as these are the common faults that reduce the price a copy can realistically achieve.
