Live data, refreshed daily. Last updated . Reviewed by Ked, a Leica M shooter (film and digital).

I have made some changes to the fair price methods. On some cameras you may notice a shift in the price guide pricing as a result.

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 Standard, also called the Model E, was announced in 1932 and built into the early 1950s. It was the camera that established Leica's standardized 39mm screw mount, so any standardized screw-mount lens fits and focuses correctly without factory matching. Mechanically it is a stripped, economy version of the era's rangefinder Leicas: it has no built-in rangefinder, no slow shutter speeds, and a top speed of 1/500, with a small collapsible rewind knob. Around 27,000 were made, first in black with nickel fittings and later in chrome. It appeals to buyers who want a compact, fully mechanical screw-mount body at a lower price than a rangefinder model.
