Perfect for:

  • Enthusiasts wanting genuine Leica optics with the flexibility of a zoom lens
  • Travel, portraits & everyday photography where extra reach helps
  • Photographers who want a versatile Leica point-and-shoot without an M-series price tag

*JUST SERVICED & FILM TESTED*

Looking for a compact 35mm camera with genuine Leica optics and the flexibility of a zoom? The Leica Mini Zoom is a pocketable point-and-shoot from the mid-'90s, built around a true Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70mm zoom lens - giving you the freedom to frame wide scenes or move in closer, all with the same trusted point-and-shoot ease as the standard Mini.

✔ Genuine Leica Vario-Elmar zoom lens – Built around a 35-70mm f/4.0-7.6 Vario-Elmar lens, the Mini Zoom lets you shoot wide environmental scenes or zoom in for tighter portraits, all with genuine Leica optics.

✔ Compact, travel-ready body – At 124mm x 69mm x 42mm and around 250g without battery, the Mini Zoom stays pocketable despite its added zoom versatility, making it an easy everyday-carry or travel companion.

✔ Fully automatic operation – Active infrared autofocus (60cm to infinity, with focus lock) paired with programmed auto-exposure and DX-coded film speed detection means you simply point, zoom and shoot.

✔ Built-in automatic flash with red-eye reduction – A pre-flash fires ahead of the main flash to reduce red-eye, so portraits and low-light shots come out cleaner straight out of the camera.

✔ Genuine Leica craftsmanship – From its precise zoom control to its solid build, the Mini Zoom carries the same attention to detail Leica is known for, in a more versatile everyday package than the fixed-lens Mini.

Whether you're a Leica collector after a more versatile everyday shooter or someone who wants genuine Leica with the extra reach of a zoom, the Leica Mini Zoom 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

Grade: We grade every camera carefully so you can shop with confidence, knowing exactly what you’ll receive. Each one is thoroughly tested to ensure it works as intended, and our grading scale helps you understand the overall condition and any minor imperfections that distinguish it from a like-new example.

  • Grade 10 – Near Perfect: Near-perfect, minimal to no wear, flawless functions, crystal-clear lens.
  • 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.

Usability

Usability: This camera suits everyday travel, street and portrait photography, with the extra reach of the Vario-Elmar zoom giving more framing flexibility than a fixed-lens compact. The built-in flash with pre-flash red-eye reduction performs well for portraits in low light.
