Leitz R7

The Leitz/Leica R7 is a 35mm single-lens reflex film camera launched in the early 1990s, built around the Leica R bayonet mount. When new it sat near the top of Leica's R-series SLR line, aimed at advanced amateurs and professionals who wanted multi-mode metering and TTL flash alongside R-mount Leica optics.

Hammer prices for the Leica R7 at recent UK auction have ranged from roughly £130 to £360, with a median in the low £200s — wholesale saleroom results before commission rather than retail asking prices. As of 2026 the camera's value is closely tied to cosmetic and electronic condition, and a clean, fully working body typically sells for noticeably more than one with a tired finish or an intermittent meter.
