Notes

Rangefinder-styled body with a shutter-speed dial on top and an aperture ring on the Leica-branded 14-50mm. Mechanically an Olympus E-330 underneath, and sells for roughly 3x what an E-330 does purely on handling and looks. MSRP shown is the kit price; it was never sold body-only. Note the collectible price guides still quote $120-140 for this — that data is from 2015-2020 and the market has moved well past it.

Latest pricing by source

Each row is a direct observation from the seller. How this works.
No recent price snapshots in the lookback window.

Price history

One point per day per (source, grade) pair, connected with lines. Hue marks the source; lightness within a hue marks the condition (darker = better grade). The dashed line is launch MSRP.

See Methods notes #1.1, #1.2, #1.3.

How we compute each section

References on each chart link down here. More notes will land as new sections grow.

1. Price history

#1.1 · Grade buckets
Each seller publishes their own raw condition labels (e.g. "Excellent+", "Like new minus", "Bargain"). Those are normalized to a small bucket set: mint, excellent, good, fair, poor, and unknown. The "Latest pricing by source" table above shows both the raw label and the normalized bucket so you can audit any individual mapping.
#1.2 · Missing days
A point is only drawn on a day when a snapshot existed for that (source, grade) pair. Lines connect across gaps so a series with sparse sampling still reads as a single trend, but absence of a point does not mean a stockout: it means we didn't see a listing at that grade that day.
#1.3 · Color encoding
Hue carries the source: terracotta = mpb, sage = keh, cobalt = B&H, honey = ebay. Lightness within a hue carries the condition: darker means a better grade (mint and excellent are darkest; poor is lightest). The dashed ink line is launch MSRP, included as a reference even though it isn't a price observation.
