The Leica M5 was produced from 1971 to 1975 and was the first M-mount camera with a built-in CdS light meter using a unique swinging arm design. Its larger, more angular body was a departure from the classic M silhouette, which made it controversial at launch but has earned it a cult following. The M5 is now prized for its excellent metering, comfortable handling, and relative affordability compared to other M-mount film bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a used Leica M5 still be serviced?

Usually yes. Leica services many current and recent models, and independent specialists handle older and discontinued bodies, including the clean-lube-adjust (CLA) that vintage cameras often need. Parts can be limited on older or electronic models, so budget for a possible service and factor a CLA into the price on a body that has not been serviced recently.
