The Leica MD-2, produced from about 1980 to 1987, is the last of Leica's viewfinderless technical M bodies. Based on the M4-2 (catalog 10105), it keeps the no-rangefinder, no-viewfinder layout while adding a hot shoe, with two flash contacts marked M and X, and the modern film transport of its era. It was used for the same scientific, copying, and Visoflex applications as the MD and MDa. Roughly 2,600 units were made. On the used market the MD-2 commands a premium over the MDa as the newest, most capable body in the line, and its hot shoe makes it the easiest to shoot handheld with a finder and scale focus.

Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories add the most value to a used Leica MD-2?
Condition is the main driver of value; accessories add to it. For film and screw-mount bodies the pieces that matter most are original matching-number accessories and the correct period Leica case, and special or limited editions must keep their certificate of authenticity and any numbered or branded extras, or they sell far closer to a standard body. The original box, papers, manual, and receipt are useful provenance but are one component rather than the main draw. A complete original outfit will out-price a body-only listing in the same condition.
Can a used Leica MD-2 still be serviced, and does it come with a warranty?
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. On warranty: a used Leica MD-2 from a dealer such as KEH, MPB, or an authorized Leica dealer typically carries a limited warranty, often 60 to 180 days, while private and most eBay sales are sold as-is, so test everything on arrival and factor a CLA into the price.
