Leitz IIId

The Leitz IIId is a 35mm screw-mount rangefinder introduced in 1940, based on the IIIc body with the addition of a self-timer. Production was cut short by wartime conditions, which is why surviving examples are scarce and sought after by Leica collectors.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Leitz IIId have spanned roughly £3,500 to £11,000, with a median around £4,200 at saleroom level — wholesale results that do not include buyer's or seller's commission. As of 2026 the model's value is highly condition- and provenance-sensitive: the £11,000 result achieved in 2018 reflects what an exceptional, collector-grade example sells for, while more typical bodies price in the £4,000 range today. Royal Air Force marked cameras and examples paired with the MOOLY-C motor drive tend to fetch a premium when documentation is clear.
