Live data, refreshed daily. Last updated . Reviewed by Ked, a Leica M shooter (film and digital).

I have made some changes to the fair price methods. On some cameras you may notice a shift in the price guide pricing as a result.

A quick gut-check for any listing below — condition and accessories shift the line, so always read the listing. Special edition, special finish, and camera plus lens/accessory bundle pricing is not included in the fair price calculation.

The Leica IIIa, or Model G, introduced in 1935, was the first Leica to offer a 1/1000 top shutter speed, added to the otherwise familiar Leica III specification of slow speeds, strap lugs, and a 1.5x rangefinder. It uses the standardized 39mm screw mount and was built in chrome; bodies seen in black are almost always earlier cameras factory-upgraded to IIIa specification. It was the most produced pre-war Leica, with roughly 90,000 made, and production continued in various forms into the late 1940s. The IIIa is a popular, capable, fully mechanical screw-mount film camera and is widely available on the used market.
