Highlights

This Leica MP in silver was built in the 2020s to Leica's exacting standards. The MP, which stands for Mechanical Perfection, is Leica's modern 35mm film camera featuring through-the-lens (TTL) metering and represents a harmonious blend of classic M-series design philosophy with contemporary precision manufacturing. The 10301 MP model was produced from 2003 until its discontinuation in early 2025.

Built on the foundation of the legendary M6, the MP incorporates improved internal mechanics, enhanced weather sealing, and refined ergonomics while maintaining the timeless aesthetic that has defined Leica rangefinders for decades. The silver chrome finish offers exceptional durability and develops a distinctive patina over time, making each camera unique to its user. This particular example exhibits minimal signs of handling and presents in like-new condition.
