The Leica M5 is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Leitz, introduced in the early 1970s as the first M-series body to incorporate through-the-lens metering. Its larger body and revised top plate set it apart from earlier and later M models, and at launch it sat at the top of Leitz's rangefinder line.

UK auction hammer results for the M5 are wholesale wholesale levels rather than dealer retail, and the limited data available shows a recent saleroom result of £1,800 in late 2025. With only a single hammer record on file as of today, the price a Leica M5 sells for at auction in 2026 is condition-sensitive and varies with cosmetic state, meter function and whether the body is the two-lug or three-lug variant.
