Leitz M2-R (black)
The Leitz M2-R is a 35mm rangefinder camera, a late variant of the Leitz M2 series produced in small numbers in the late 1960s. The black-finished body is the rarer of the two finishes offered.
Documented hammer data for the black M2-R is thin: a single UK auction-level result of £1,700 from 2017 sits in our records, so a meaningful range or median cannot be drawn for today's market. Buyers researching what a black M2-R is worth or sells for at saleroom level should treat that figure as indicative only, since condition, originality of finish and completeness drive value heavily on low-production black-paint Leitz bodies.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leitz M2-R (black) worth today?
Our records contain only one UK auction hammer result, £1,700, so a reliable current value cannot be quoted; condition and originality of the black finish will materially affect price.
How much does a black M2-R sell for at auction?
With just a single recorded sale at £1,700, there is not enough hammer data to state a typical selling price for the black M2-R.
Why is the black M2-R priced differently from the chrome M2?
Black-finished Leitz bodies were produced in much smaller numbers than chrome, which generally supports a price premium when the original paint is intact.
