A quick price guide for the Leica R5, currently for sale, user cameras, not collectables
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 R5 (1987-1992) is the refined evolution of the R4-generation electronic body. It keeps the compact Minolta-derived chassis and the full set of program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and manual modes, but raises the top shutter speed to 1/2000s, adds exposure compensation, a diopter-adjustable finder, and through-the-lens flash metering, and improves the meter. It is the body to choose if you want an R4-era electronic Leica with the faster shutter and better metering. The shutter is electronic and battery-dependent. It takes 2-cam and 3-cam R lenses and adapts to modern L-Mount bodies via the R-Adapter L.
