It’s been on my mind for a while to get a 35mm 1980’s Leica inspected & valued, for insurance more than anything else.

Original receipt has all the information but is rather illegible to the untrained eye.

Can scan & post if it’ll help.

Any recommendations in Edinburgh/ Midlothian?

Use this to use serial to find model, then you should be able to get an idea of value online or from a specialist, depending on model.

There’s a wee shop at Abbeyhill. Maybe one in Morningside?

Let us know the model and numbers and we’ll be able to help you.

Most of the value will be in the lenses rather than the body, which you could use on a modern digital body if you want.

Although bought in 1989.

Nice! Value very dependent on its condition and the model and condition of the lens. For insurance purposes, I’d go for retail value from a dealer, so approx £300, for the body. Probably around what you paid for it?

Have you a lens for it?
