Product Description

Then you should select the LEICA minilux zoom with the high-grade titanium body and the classic styling. The performance of the fast zoom lens sets standards for compact cameras.With the LEICA minilux zoom you can make brilliant snapshots quicker than ever before. The popular 35 to 70 mm range of focal lengths gives it the flexibility to master any situation. Portraits, street scenes or landscape photographs - a brief touch with the finger, and presto, you have exactly the right cropping for your picture.
The Leica Minilux Zoom offers the fastest zoom lens ever put on a compact Leica--the Vario-Elmar 35-70mm zoom lens. Housed in a body of high-grade titanium, this is one of the most versatile and deluxe compact 35mm cameras ever made. Another feature that makes the Minilux Zoom stand out is a hot shoe mount for the Leica CF flash unit (sold separately) in addition to the built-in flash. This allows you to reduce red-eye and light up objects from a greater distance.
The Minilux Zoom also offers an active infrared autofocus or manual focusing from about 28 inches to infinity. The exposure metering system is center-weighted for extremely accurate exposures. Other outstanding features include a self-timer with 10-second countdown indicated by a flashing red light, tripod thread, data back for date imprinting, and an exposure value memory function which allows you to calculate your exposure from an object that is not in the center of your picture frame. The Minilux Zoom also has a number of exposure and focus settings that allow for a great deal of creative control. It can even be set to start out on your preferred mode every time you turn on the camera.
