Leitz R3
The Leitz R3 is a 35mm SLR introduced in 1976 as the first camera in Leitz's R-series, replacing the Leicaflex SL2. It uses the Leica R bayonet mount and was positioned as an electronic, aperture-priority body developed in partnership with Minolta, sitting above the contemporary Minolta XE in Leitz's line-up.
In the UK auction market today the R3 is an accessible entry point into Leica R glass: hammer prices for clean bodies typically run from about £50 to £600, with a median value of roughly £160 across the last couple of years' sales. An unusual £600 result in 2022 sits well above the norm, and most tidy, working examples sell for between £90 and £240 at saleroom level — wholesale figures that reward cosmetic condition, meter function and working electronics.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leitz R3 worth today?
Most R3 bodies sell for between about £90 and £240 at UK auction, with a median hammer price of roughly £160; exceptional or boxed examples can reach £500–£600.
How much does a Leica R3 sell for at auction?
Recent UK hammer results range from around £50 for rough or untested bodies to about £600 for the cleanest examples, so condition and working electronics drive the price.
Is the Leitz R3 a good value Leica SLR?
Yes — it is one of the cheaper ways into the Leica R system, with typical prices well below those of later R6 or R8 bodies, though R-mount lenses themselves remain the larger cost.
Does the R3 MOT version command a higher price?
The motorised R3 MOT variant generally sells for more than a standard R3, but the premium at auction is modest rather than dramatic.
