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 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.
