Leitz T (Typ 701)
The Leitz T (Typ 701) is a digital mirrorless camera, part of Leica's APS-C system introduced in the 2010s with a milled aluminium body and a touchscreen-driven interface. It positioned the brand at a more accessible price point than the full-frame M line while retaining German manufacture.
UK auction hammer prices for the T (Typ 701) are thin on the ground, but a recent saleroom result in 2026 saw a body sell for around £400, while an earlier 2001 entry in the dataset records £235. On the evidence available today the value sits in the low-to-mid hundreds, and what a clean body sells for is highly sensitive to whether the original charger, battery and box are present.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leica T (Typ 701) worth today?
On the limited UK auction evidence available, a body in usable condition is worth somewhere in the region of £240–£400 at hammer, with condition and accessories driving where in that band it lands.
How much does a Leitz T (Typ 701) sell for at auction?
Recent UK saleroom data shows a price of around £400 in 2026, though sample size is very small so the figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market level.
Is the price quoted what I would pay at a dealer?
No — the figures here are auction hammer results, which exclude buyer's premium and are typically below dealer retail asking prices for an equivalent example.
