The Leica M-E, released in 2012, is the budget version of the M9: same 18MP Kodak CCD sensor, same body, but in a dark grey anthracite finish with a simplified feature set (no frameline preview lever, no USB port). It was Leica's effort to lower the entry price into full-frame digital M shooting. On the used market the M-E is one of the most affordable ways to access CCD-rendering files, and its anthracite finish has aged well aesthetically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories add the most value to a used Leica M-E?
Condition is the main driver of value; on a modern digital body the accessories that move price are the genuine battery and charger, which are expensive to replace, plus the original box and papers. There is no period-case or matching-number premium the way there is on vintage and collectible Leicas, so condition and shutter count matter far more.
Can a used Leica M-E still be serviced?
Usually yes. Leica services its current and recent digital bodies, and the Leica M-E is new enough that support and parts are readily available. Servicing a digital body means sensor cleaning, firmware updates, and electronic repair, which Leica handles. Because most private and online sales are sold untested, check everything on arrival, especially the sensor, EVF, and card slots.
