The Leica MD, produced from 1964 to 1966, is a viewfinderless M body built for scientific, technical, and copying work rather than handheld rangefinder photography. Essentially an M1 with the viewfinder removed, sharing the M2-generation body, it has no rangefinder and no viewfinder, and was intended for use on reproduction stands or with the Visoflex mirror housing for macro and long-lens work, or handheld by scale focus. Roughly 3,000 units were made. On the used market the MD is a scarce collector body, valued for its clean technical lineage and its place as the first of Leica's dedicated viewfinderless M cameras.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a used Leica MD 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.
