Variants & identification

Variant	Mount	Years	Serial ranges	Production
Without self-timer	Leica M	1957–1968	—	The majority: 5,900 of roughly 93,000 cameras have the timer
With self-timer (Vorlaufwerk)	Leica M	1957–1968	—	5,900 cameras (Leica Wiki)
Black paint	Leica M	1957–1968	—	1,851 cameras (Leica Wiki)
KS-15 (4), US Army	Leica M	1965–1968	—	874 cameras, on a figure the Leica Wiki attributes to a forum contributor rather than to a record
M2-M (motor)	Leica M	1966	1163771–1164046, one block	276, the size of the one serial block (Leica Wiki batch table; CameraQuest, from Leica's serial data; Leitz Photographica Auction). The often-repeated 275 comes from Lockhart's List, which ends the block a number early at 1164045 and cites no source, and from Japanese Wikipedia, which prints 275 against the full 1163771–1164046 range. How many of the 276 numbers were finished as M2-Ms is not recorded.
M2-R	Leica M	1968–1968	—	No figure published
Grey (Luftwaffe)	Leica M	1957–1968	—	No figure published
Ernst Leitz Canada	Leica M	1957–1968	—	No figure published

Flints Auctions sold a KS-15 (4) outfit — body 1163358 of 1966, with the military case marked CONTRACT F42600-71-C-0974 — for £8,500 including buyer's premium at its Fine Photographica sale of 21 November 2023. Its catalogue puts the first production run at serials 1163150 to 1163770, about 870 bodies. That is an auction house's figure arrived at independently of the 874 the Leica Wiki attributes to a forum contributor, and the two agree to within four cameras.
A black paint M2, serial 1005296, made €18,000 including buyer's premium as lot 100 of Leitz Photographica Auction 43. The catalogue describes it as one of an official batch of 250 black cameras with self-timer, numbers 1005101 to 1005350, delivered to Brandt of Stockholm on 28 September 1961 — a documented sub-batch inside the 1,851 black bodies recorded here.
An unused black paint M2, serial 1031886 of 1961, went unsold against a €40,000–50,000 estimate as lot 98 of Leitz Photographica Auction 48, which puts a ceiling on what the finish is currently worth.

How to tell them apart (expand)

0.72× finder with bright frames for 35mm, 50mm and 90mm — the first Leica rangefinder to show a 35mm frame without goggles
A plain top plate: none of the M3's machined surrounds to the windows
An external frame counter that must be reset by hand after loading

Without self-timer:

Plain front, no delayed-action lever

With self-timer (Vorlaufwerk):

Delayed-action lever on the front

Black paint:

Black lacquer over brass

KS-15 (4), US Army:

US Army markings; fitted with the M4's rapid-loading spool

M2-M (motor):

Top plate engraved M2-M before the serial number, and the serial falls inside 1163771–1164046
Motor contacts in the base, visible with the base plate off through a cut-out in the film-loading plate; a notch in the take-up spool's drive shaft
Chrome only: the black examples on record are refinishes

M2-R:

M4-style rapid-loading spool in an M2 body

Grey (Luftwaffe):

Grey finish, German air force

Ernst Leitz Canada:

Canadian markings; assembled at Midland

NASA cameras:

Modified for the US space programme

Without self-timer: The launch specification. The self-timer was one of the economies that made it cheaper than an M3.
Black paint: About two per cent of the model — commoner than a black M3 in absolute terms and in proportion.
KS-15 (4), US Army: A Vietnam-era military M2 with the loading system of the camera that replaced it. The production figure should be treated as collector research, not a ledger entry.
M2-M (motor): The M2 built to take the Leica Motor, the electric drive E. Leitz Inc. of New York developed from Norman Goldberg's design and announced late in 1965. The motor (14000, later 14100) replaces the base plate and runs from a separate AA battery pack on a cord. The Leica Wiki dates the block to 1966, as Leitz's catalogues date most of the bodies (1164000 is given as 1967); CameraQuest's Leica data dates the block's assignment to 30 January 1967, about six months ahead of the M4-M; and one body, 1163995, engraved in the later M4 style, was not delivered until 3 September 1971. Leitz New York also fitted the same contacts to ordinary M2s, from the motor's first year and as late as 1971, and those carry no M2-M engraving: the engraving and the serial identify a factory M2-M, the contacts alone do not. One genuine M2-M, 1163987, has had its contacts taken out. At Leitz Photographica, including premium, bodies have made €1,440–7,200 (the top figure for 1163771, the first of the block, in 2020) and bodies with the motor €1,680–6,600.
M2-R: The civilian version of the KS-15 (4), sold after the model had officially ended.
NASA cameras: Listed by the Leica Wiki among the M2's variants without detail. What the modifications were, and which flights carried them, is not recorded there.

Figures we worked out rather than found: 5,900 self-timer cameras out of about 93,221 — 6.3% of the model · The serial table's own span, 1957–1970, is two years longer than the production era the same page prints · 1,851 black bodies is 2.0% of the M2, against 0.57% for the M3

Where sources disagree

First year

1958, the year it went on sale
1957, when the Leica Wiki says production began

Better supported: 1957 for manufacture, 1958 for sale

The same distinction the Barnack entries draw: building and selling are different dates.

What reviewers say

James Tocchio (blog) — Tocchio allows that the M3 is one of the best machines ever made and still calls the M2 marginally the better camera, deserving more recognition than it gets.

History

The M2 was built to sit under the M3 and ended up outliving its logic. Leitz took the M3, simplified the top casing, replaced the self-resetting frame counter with an external dial you reset by hand, deleted the self-timer, and — the decision that mattered — redesigned the rangefinder optics to 0.72× magnification so that a 35mm frame would fit inside the finder. The M3 could not show 35mm at all; you fitted goggled lenses to fool its frame selector. The M2 simply had the frame.

For a reportage photographer in 1958 that settled the argument. A wider finder loses focusing precision — 0.72× against 0.91× drops the effective baselength from about 62mm to about 49mm, which matters on a fast 50 or a 90 — but it gains the focal length most of them worked in. Every M that followed took the M2’s side: the M4, M6, M7 and MP all carry a 35mm frame, and none has ever returned to the M3’s magnification as standard.

Roughly 93,221 numbers were assigned across the run, about 82,000 of them chrome and 1,851 black paint, which makes a black M2 both commoner and proportionally twice as likely as a black M3. Only 5,900 cameras have the self-timer that was left out at launch and added later as an option.

The interesting M2s are at the edges. A grey Luftwaffe version exists. Some were modified for NASA, which the Leica Wiki lists without saying what was modified or what flew. And in the Vietnam era the US Army bought the KS-15 (4), an M2 fitted with the rapid-loading spool from the M4 — a camera combining the older body with the newer camera’s one genuine convenience. The figure of 874 comes from a forum contributor by the Leica Wiki’s own attribution, so it is collector research rather than a record. Its civilian equivalent, the M2-R, was sold after production had officially finished.

The M2-M is the motor M2, and the first M built for an electric drive. The motor came from New York rather than Wetzlar: Norman Goldberg’s Camcraft design, sold briefly as the TPI Remodrive, was bought by E. Leitz Inc. and announced as the Leica Motor late in 1965. Wetzlar then made one block of 276 M2s, 1163771 to 1164046, engraved M2-M and fitted with contacts for it. The 275 that sellers repeat comes from sources that end the block a number early or miscount it. What makes the M2-M easy to misread is that Leitz New York also converted ordinary M2s for the same motor, from 1965 and as late as 1971, with the same contacts and no special engraving. A motor M2 is not necessarily an M2-M; the engraving and the serial decide it.

Buying from Yahoo! Auctions outside Japan. It is a domestic marketplace: sellers ship within Japan, and most will not register an overseas buyer. A proxy service bids on your behalf, receives the item and forwards it, for a fee and a wait. Buyee, Jauce and ZenMarket each accept a Yahoo auction number directly. Listed alphabetically for information — none is recommended over another, and none of these is an affiliate link.

Listings updated 2026-10-19. Links go to the shop or marketplace that carries the item.
