A new cheap Leica M film camera is rumored for 2021

By LR admin | Published: December 28, 2020

Leica is rumored to announce a new (cheaper) Leica M film rangefinder camera in 2021 – something similar to the Leica M6 TTL that you can buy today on eBay for around $2,00-$3,000 (above is a picture of my own 0.58 M6 TTL I bought dirt cheap years ago with a red cap from the online store). I don’t have any other details yet, but if you do, please contact me anonymously here.

Leica still sells the M-A mechanical film camera (pictured above) that is priced at $5,200 – so I can see how a new cheaper version can make sense.
