Leica collectors, get ready: some seriously rare cameras are heading to auction, and this latest sale feels like one of those moments where Leica history, photojournalism, and pure mechanical beauty all collide.
Leitz Photographica Auction No. 48 will take place in Wetzlar, Germany, on June 13, 2026, with a line-up that includes some extraordinary pieces from the golden age of Leica rangefinders. Among the headlines is a black paint Leica MP no. MP-33, a chrome Leica MP once owned by Tazio Secchiaroli, and an olive Leica M3 from the final Bundeswehr batch.
