Advertisement Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Hi bcapphoto, Take a look here What is the M-D 262 going for these days?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted June 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) @bcapphoto the best thing to do if you find one and the price is right for you is not to let it go. I don' know for other M-D users, I'd not sell mine, as I did say often. Not many made, not many sold, so scarse second hand, the price wouldn't drop like other digital M. I overpaid mine, sh some years ago, after M10 (!) and I do think that was good decision, even when M10-D came years later. 😉 see Philip's post here Edited June 14, 2021 by a.noctilux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m debating between it and the M10. I have a 240 and 246 I’d be selling to consolidate and fund. Talk to me about your experience with the MD vs the 10!

a.noctilux Posted June 14, 2021 Share #4 Posted June 14, 2021 Long story = short (why M-D/M10 ? ). They are different for different use, as I use some Leica M depending on my " ⁉️ " (I can not explain), we can say whim. For example, today, I don't know (now) which one(s) will be used ( same for a lens ), nice to have choices but not following kind of logics. We are lucky to have such choices offered by Leica (Leitz before that for me since so long !), so I'm not someone to follow in gear choices 🤥. Follow your own path, take other's opinions with a pinch of salt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidshirts Posted June 14, 2021 Share #7 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Checking fredmiranda.com, an M-D sold for $4k about 5 weeks ago. The sale prior to that was 9 months ago so they are rare, indeed. Edited June 14, 2021 by plaidshirts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted June 14, 2021 Share #8 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) It's not an M-D 262, but I was recently offered $5000 USD trade in credit for my M-P 240 Safari set that is in 9 to 9+ condition with all original boxes, accessories, manual and paperwork; this offer came from a well known U.S. based Leica Store that shall remain nameless. (I decided against trading) 😎 Edited June 14, 2021 by Herr Barnack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunner Posted June 14, 2021 Share #9 Posted June 14, 2021 Leica Store Berlin has one for € 4995 right now. I use mine almost daily since last fall. Simple and a pleasure to use. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted June 15, 2021 Share #11 Posted June 15, 2021 If you want to see some crazy prices, go to ebay and look at what some sellers from Japan are asking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsch Posted June 18, 2021 Share #12 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) I already nabbed the one at mwclassic.com ... I had been looking since January and found 4 for sale in Germany (eg at fotogoerlitz and other specialist dealers) during that time in the 4500-5000 euro range. Brexit and 20% VAT on top and customs delays put me off those but all of them a no longer for sale, so presumed sold. Several of those dealers no longer appear on UK ebay presumably because of the import complexities but you can hunt on ebay.de or the dealer websites. Considering they were £4650 new when they came out in 2016, M-D's seem to be holding their value rather well. When I realised it was the only camera I wanted I just shut my eyes to the price ... 🙂 Edited June 18, 2021 by Datsch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsch Posted June 18, 2021 Share #13 Posted June 18, 2021 The Roberts page only has standard photos and no stock, and looks like a 'new' price. Perhaps they have not updated their listing as being a discontinued product. It happens. https://robertscamera.com/m-d-typ-262-body-only The Diamonds listing is similar and note that it is in Australian dollars, not USD ... https://www.diamondscamera.com.au/leica-m-d-typ-262-body I personally wouldn't use either of these data points in setting a market price for a secondhand M-D.

Datsch Posted June 18, 2021 Share #14 Posted June 18, 2021 @plaidshirts Wow that fredmiranda site is amazing. I trawled it for M-D sales and found these. USA prices are a good deal compared with Europe, which reflects Leica pricing and high European taxation of course. Date $USD 5/17 4150 6/17 4200 9/17 4150 5/19 3800 12/19 3400 1/20 3200 4/20 3600 (4100 with lens) 9/20 3800 2/21 4000 5/21 4000 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted June 19, 2021 Share #16 Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) FYI price-watchers .... I bought one for EUR4000 a few months ago. Minty with the finest couple of pin spots of brassing on a corner. I thought that was a great deal at the time as it was significantly cheaper than anything else I'd seen around. The prices on Fred Miranda are indeed sharper - Interesting that they are only changing hands 2 or 3 times a year there though ! All points to the fact that these cameras are keepers, for sure When I purchased mine there was an M10D available here in Australia however it sold at USD2000 more than I paid for the 262. . I'd already made my mind up that the Typ 262 was (IMO) the better choice and I absolutely love mine. I felt that the little 'wifi' symbol being on a camera of this nature would bug me on the 10D, as I'm sure most in this corner of the forum might agree And congrats, @Datsch Edited June 19, 2021 by grahamc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
