Does anyone know where I can get current values on the Leica III (M Mount) Series of cameras?

M Mount Leica III? No such beast. Unless you mean an M3... try searching completed listings on eBay.

Yes there is the M-39 screw mount fitted on Leica III built since the late 30´s and during WWII. Can´t tell the exact range of production time as Leitz isn´t my favourite theme at all. For getting actually current values of these cameras i agree to watching completed items on eBay might be the best idea or maybe looking at McKeown´s catalogue 2005 might help.

No there isn't. The Leica III is screw mount, the M-mount is the later bayonet fitting as found on the M series of cameras. Seems Leica's daft naming scheme still causes confusion...

Unless of course you mean a Leica 111f with a screw mount adaptor to accept M mount lenses, but as these are as rare as hens teeth, I would forget about it. :D

But you could try this site for prices of old Leicas.
