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 M1, produced from 1959 to 1964, is a viewfinder variant of the M2 designed for scientific and technical use rather than rangefinder photography. It retains the M-mount and bayonet but omits the rangefinder mechanism, with a fixed 35mm/50mm viewfinder. Roughly 9,650 units were produced, including about 208 olive bodies made for the German army with 50mm and 135mm frames. On the used market, the M1 attracts collectors and photographers who shoot scale-focus or zone-focus and prize the smaller, simpler form.
