Leitz Microscope Camera (MAKAM)

The Leitz MAKAM is a specialist 35mm camera body produced by Leitz for photomicrography, designed to attach to a microscope rather than to be used as a hand-held camera. As with other Leitz technical accessories, MAKAM is the factory five-letter product code that identifies this specific configuration.

Auction data for the MAKAM is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result, in October 2025, reached £63, which gives only a tentative idea of what one currently sells for in today's market. With just one recorded sale the figure should be read as indicative rather than a settled price, and the value of any individual example will swing on condition, mechanical health and whether the correct microscope-coupling parts are present.
