Leitz MD

The Leitz MD is a 35mm rangefinder-format body produced by Leitz of the M-series era, supplied without a viewfinder or rangefinder and intended for technical, scientific and reproduction use where the photographer composes by other means. Its M bayonet allows the same lenses used on the rangefinder M cameras to be fitted, but the body itself was positioned as a specialist tool rather than a general-purpose camera when new.

Auction activity for the Leitz MD is thin, so today's price picture rests on a small evidence base: a UK saleroom hammer of £378 in July 2025 gives the clearest recent reference for what one is worth at wholesale level. With only a single confirmed result to hand, that figure is best treated as an indicative point rather than a settled market price, and condition, completeness and the presence of a working back are likely to move what an example sells for in either direction.
