Leitz M Typ 240
The Leitz M Typ 240 is a 35mm-format digital rangefinder camera, introduced in the 2010s as part of Leitz's M-system line. It uses the Leica M bayonet mount and was positioned as a professional-tier digital body within the M range when new.
Sales data for the M Typ 240 is limited, with a single UK auction hammer result of £2,600 recorded in 2020. With only one wholesale saleroom data point, today's value range cannot be reliably stated, and what a clean example sells for in 2026 may differ materially from this figure depending on shutter count, sensor condition, and accessories.
