Leica M Lens
Price & Information Guide

|
| Prices are the
approximate amount one should expect to pay for a
Leica-M lens in excellent, but used, condition.
Glass and body should be clean and without
scratches or cleaning marks. Hoods, boxes, caps
and finer condition will all add to price. Leica
lenses can and do vary widely in price depending
on exact condition, serial # and pedigree.
Pricing was gathered from sales on photo.net,
RFF, ebay auctions, Tamarkin auctions, the LUG,
and other camera dealers. Prices are biased
towards ebay auctions and private sales on
photo.net and RFF. Expect to pay 20% more
directly from a dealer. Since the last update,
the growth of digital cameras ( M8 ) has driven
the prices of used M lenses UP over the last
year. The rise of the euro in relation to the US$
is also having an impact on higher prices on the
newer lenses. Most noticeably, the Noctilux has
seen a HUGE increase ( + $ 1,600 ), followed by
the 50 Summilux lenses. The 90mm and longer
lenses are beginning to fall a bit in prices. If
a lens has been converted to 6-Bit, add $ 100.
