The Leica CM is a 35mm autofocus compact camera introduced by Leica in the mid-2000s, positioned at the premium end of the point-and-shoot market alongside other high-grade compacts of its era. It paired a small magnesium body with a fixed Leica-branded prime lens (a CM Zoom variant with a zoom lens was also produced), and was sold as a pocketable companion to the M-series rangefinders.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Leica CM have ranged from roughly £560 to £12,000, with a median around £4,000 — figures that reflect wholesale saleroom results before commission rather than dealer retail. The wide spread shows how condition-sensitive and variant-sensitive this model is today in 2026: a tidy user-grade body sells for a fraction of what a boxed, mint, or special-edition example is worth, and the top of the range is driven by collector-grade outliers rather than typical examples.
