Leitz MDa Post
The Leitz MDa Post is a 35mm rangefinder-style body derived from the M-series, supplied without viewfinder or rangefinder for specialised technical and documentary use. It was offered as a dedicated tool for postal and scientific applications rather than general photography.
Sales data for the MDa Post is thin, so the price picture in 2026 is indicative rather than firm: a single tracked UK auction hammer result stands at £967, fetched at saleroom level in April 2021. With only one verified data point, what the camera is worth today depends heavily on condition, completeness and buyer competition on the day, and the next clean example could easily sell for materially more or less than that figure.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
