How Much Is a Used Leica R9 Worth? (September 18, 2026 Price Guide)
Live data, refreshed daily. Last updated . Reviewed by Ked, a Leica M shooter (film and digital).
I found an eBay seller manipulation that affects the market
liquidity (how long it takes to sell 1/2 the market). I have
gated that off and as a result you will notice a shift in the
market pace section of the fair price analysis. Most
cameras will now show a slower market pace.

pricing is not included in the fair price calculation.
The Leica R9 (2002-2009) is the refined R8 and the last R-mount film SLR Leica ever made. It keeps the R8’s distinctive grip-integrated shape but replaces the top plate with magnesium and the base with aluminum to shed about 100 grams, improves the electronics and flash control, and polishes small details. The electronically timed metal-blade shutter runs to 1/8000s with X-sync at 1/250, the meter offers selective, matrix, center-weighted, and TTL-flash patterns, and it accepts the DMR digital back. Production ended in 2009 when Leica discontinued the R system, so the R9 is the final Leica film SLR, with thin used inventory and prices that have held up better than any other R body. It takes 2-cam and 3-cam R lenses and adapts to modern L-Mount bodies.
