Leitz M Monochrom (Ralph Gibson, 10760)
The Leitz Leica M Monochrom (Ralph Gibson Edition, product code 10760) is a 35mm digital rangefinder built around a black-and-white-only sensor. It is a limited edition variant of the M Monochrom, finished and presented in collaboration with photographer Ralph Gibson, positioned as a collector-oriented release within the M digital line.
At UK auction, hammer prices for this Ralph Gibson edition have ranged from £2,900 to £5,500, with the two recorded sales averaging around £4,200 — a wide spread that reflects how thinly this special edition trades at saleroom level today. Because these figures are wholesale auction results rather than retail asking prices, what a Ralph Gibson M Monochrom is worth in 2026 depends heavily on completeness of the set, condition of the body, and whether accompanying signed materials are present.
