Leitz M3-P (chrome, 0.95 Noctilux, special edition)
The Leitz M3-P (chrome, 0.95 Noctilux, special edition) is a 35mm rangefinder set issued as a limited commemorative variant of the M-series rangefinder line. It was sold as a collector-oriented package pairing a chrome M-bodied rangefinder with a fast 0.95 Noctilux lens.
Auction data for this special edition is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom hammer result available is a single sale at £30,000 in 2016, and no further results have surfaced in the years since. With just one data point, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price, and what a clean set is actually worth in 2026 would only be settled by a fresh auction appearance.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leitz M3-P chrome 0.95 Noctilux special edition worth today?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price is £30,000 from 2016; with no recent comparable sales, current value can only be confirmed by a fresh auction result.
How much does the M3-P special edition sell for at auction?
On the single available data point it sells for around £30,000 at hammer, but one sale is not enough to establish a reliable price range.
Why is the price so uncertain?
Special editions like this trade rarely, and with just one verified sale in the history there is not enough data to quote a median or range with confidence.
