Leitz Leicaflex SL2 MOT 50 Jahre (50th Anniversary)
The Leicaflex SL2 MOT 50 Jahre is a 35mm SLR issued by Leitz as a commemorative edition marking the company's 50-year camera anniversary. It is a motor-drive-capable variant of the SL2 body, produced in limited numbers, which has positioned it primarily as a collector piece rather than a routine working camera.
Public UK auction data for this commemorative is thin: a single recorded hammer result of £2,800 from late 2022 is the only verifiable reference point at saleroom level, so in 2026 that figure remains the most defensible anchor for what one is worth. Because these hammer prices are wholesale auction results that exclude commission, dealer asking prices for comparable examples tend to sit meaningfully higher, and condition together with original boxing and paperwork can swing the value materially.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leicaflex SL2 MOT 50 Jahre worth today?
Public UK auction evidence is limited to one hammer sale at £2,800 in 2022, so that figure is the most defensible reference for what a clean example is worth today, with condition and completeness shifting the price either side.
How much does a Leicaflex SL2 MOT 50 Jahre sell for at auction?
The only verifiable UK hammer result on record is £2,800; with so few examples trading openly, prices for comparable cameras can vary around that benchmark depending on cosmetics and accessories.
Why does the 50 Jahre edition command a premium over a standard SL2 MOT?
It was produced in limited numbers to mark Leitz's 50-year camera anniversary, and the commemorative engravings give it a collector value that a regular production SL2 MOT does not carry.
