Prices are the approximate amount one should expect to pay for a Leica-R lens in excellent, but used, condition. Glass and body should be clean and without scratches or marks. Hoods, boxes, caps and finer condition will all add to price. Leica R lenses can and do vary in price depending on exact condition, serial # and number of cams . Pricing was gathered from sales on photo.net, ebay auctions, Keh.com, Ritzcam.com and other camera dealers. Prices biased towards ebay auctions and private sales on photo.net. Expect to pay more directly from a dealer. Only the most common R lenses are listed. There are some exotic and newly made lenses that are not represented. Last Update August 12, 2008
