Leitz IIf
The Leitz IIf is a 35mm screw-mount (LTM) rangefinder camera produced by Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar during the early 1950s. It is a simplified sibling of the IIIf, sold as a lower-priced option without the slow-speed dial, and sits within the Barnack-bodied family that preceded the bayonet-mount M series.
At recent UK auction in 2024 and 2025, hammer prices for IIf bodies have clustered in the £160–£240 band, with a median close to £200 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer retail. Earlier results from 2009–2016 reached £300–£650, so today's market sells for noticeably less than the peak collector years, and condition, originality and the presence of a matching screw-mount lens make the biggest difference to what a IIf is worth.

Auction: Leitz Auction 47 (Lot A02687) Title: Leica IIf no.190
Description:
Extremely early Leica IIf, originally a Leica I Mod. A with Anastigmat lens delivered on 20.02.1925, in very good condition. After some repair at Leitz in 1949, 1951 and 1954, the camera was upgraded to IIf specifications (black dial) without slow speed, but keeping the original serial number. Most interesting is that the lens is, most probably, still the very rare original 5-elements Anastigmat lens, here mounted in an unnumbered chrome Elmar housing (front ring engraved Elmar), note the early aperture progression, the 'Germany' engraving and the original nickel aperture tab. |

B/A, good optics, incl. hood, front cap), Visoflex I no.31574 with 45° PEGOO viewer, SABRE gunstock with cable release – all in excellent condition. LITERATURE James L. Lager (ed.), Leica Illustrated History, Vol. II, Lenses, 1994, p. 188: The “Sabre Photographic Supply Company“, located in the state of Illinois in the USA, only produced the well known “Sabre Stock” Leica rifle, custom-made for the screw-mount and M-series Leicas, for one year (1956 to 1957), but this was never officially sold by Leitz. Therefore, we can only estimate how many of these were sold in the USA – conservative estimates ranging between two and three dozen. However, the “Sabre Stock”, painstakingly crafted in keeping with Leitz quality standards, was not only a piece of well thought-out photographic equipment for Leica cameras, but is also a joy to behold for any lover of high precision products. The use of high-quality materials as well as great accuracy and precision in its making led to a handy Leica rifle, sure to fascinate any Leica fan to this day. Estimate: EUR 10,000 - EUR 12,000 |

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leitz IIf worth today?
In today's UK auction market a clean IIf body typically sells for around £160–£240 at hammer, with outliers above and below depending on cosmetics and whether a lens is included.
How much does a Leitz IIf sell for at UK auction?
Recent hammer prices in 2024 and 2025 have ranged from £160 to £238, giving a median value close to £200 before buyer's premium.
Is the red-dial IIf worth more than the black-dial version?
Both red-dial and black-dial variants appear in the sales record at broadly similar price levels, so condition and completeness tend to influence value more than dial colour alone.
Why is a IIf cheaper than a IIIf?
The IIf omits the slow-speed dial fitted to the IIIf, so collectors generally pay a premium for the fuller-featured IIIf while the IIf offers a lower entry price into the screw-mount Leica family.
