Leica Mini 35mm Point-and-Shoot Film Camera

Grade & Condition
By The 35mm Club
$499.95 AUD

Perfect for:

  • Collectors & enthusiasts seeking a compact Leica

  • Everyday shooters who want genuine a Leica in a pocketable body

  • Anyone chasing crisp, classic 35mm photos with minimal fuss

Looking for a genuinely pocketable film camera that carries the Leica name? The Leica Mini is a compact 35mm point-and-shoot from the early '90s, built around a true Leica Elmar 35mm f/3.5 lens - delivering crisp, characterful images in one of the smallest bodies Leica has ever made.

✔ Genuine Leica Elmar lens – The Mini is built around a true 35mm f/3.5 Leica Elmar lens , giving punchy, well-corrected images with the kind of rendering Leica glass is known for, all in a fixed-lens point-and-shoot.

✔ Ultra-compact, pocketable body – At just 118mm x 62mm x 38mm and weighing 170g without the battery, the Leica Mini is one of the smallest cameras to ever wear the Leica logo, making it an easy everyday-carry or travel companion.

✔ Fully automatic operation – Infrared autofocus paired with programmed auto-exposure and DX-coded film speed detection means you simply point, shoot, and let the camera handle focus and exposure.

✔ Built-in automatic flash – The flash fires automatically in low light, with a manual on/off override for creative control, so you're covered indoors or after dark.

✔ Genuine Leica craftsmanship in miniature – From its precise controls to its solid feel, the Mini carries the same attention to detail Leica is known for, just scaled down into a shirt-pocket-sized camera.

Whether you're a Leica collector after an easy-to-carry film camera or a shooter who wants genuine Leica glass without the price tag of an M-series body, the Leica Mini delivers crisp, classic 35mm results in a package that goes anywhere.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V battery (sold separately).

  • Grade 9 – Excellent: Lightly used, faint scuffs, fully functional, clean lens.
  • Grade 8 – Great: Normal signs of use, minor surface marks, fully functional.
  • Grade 7 – Good: Well-loved with visible wear or small quirks, but everything works as it should.
  • Grade 6 – Fair: Heavier wear and noticeable imperfections. It may also have minor functional quirks or imperfections, but it is fully functional and full of character.
