Detailed information about Leica (serial numbers, lens types, history etc) is available at CameraQuest and Pacific Rim Cameras web-sites. If you are looking for the lens prices, check the Leica Lens Price Guide, or use M39 search to find other lenses manufactured with Leica screw mount. Leica Lens Serial Number Prices are through the roof, and the original camera most of the time is worth a few hundred dollars tops, while the super-thin gold plating them has diminished that value, not added any value to it.

A visual library on selective LEICA M-Series rangefinder cameras This site is a work from all. With a century-old tradition behind the proud trade name, attempting to tee off even a simple profile on Leica / Leitz cameras/optics may not be an easy task. This site will never be possible if not for the contributions from the respective online stores, personal enthusiasts of Leica system as well as individual collectors. My task is just doing the task of compiling them orderly in the form of an online visual library. This site, along with the Contax/Zeiss is a MUST before attempting to feature development history of other labels. In the photographic world of rangefinder photography, Leica/Leitz - easily can be regarded as the most respectable Icon in this segment of the market & has always remained as the ultimate reference in this rangefinder medium.
THIS SITE WILL BE UNDER CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION |

|Message Board|lenses|Message Board|RF cameras | A quick Survey for feedback on option for site construction process: I am not sure if it is a good idea to use some good pictures from volunteering contributors to brighten up the pages. Something like what I have done with these sites: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/NikonF5/exposure/index.htm http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1n/Focusing/index.htm Advantage(s): offers exposure for Leica Artists, not so boring to read between the lines but (disadvantage(s)) such inclusion will slow the download time on relevant pages and I have no time to ask around for contributing (good) photos by individual artist(s). Last - don't know how to reject a less than desirable submission judging from qualitative aspect.
