*JUST SERVICED & FILM TESTED*

Looking for a compact 35mm camera that delivers genuine Leica optics in a pocketable, everyday body? The Leica Minilux is a titanium-bodied point-and-shoot built around the acclaimed 40mm f/2.4 Summarit lens — a favourite among enthusiasts who want high quality 35mm images without the size, weight or price of an M-series camera.

✔ Genuine Leica Summarit lens – The Minilux is built around a sharp 40mm f/2.4 Leica Summarit lens (6 elements in 4 groups), delivering the crisp, contrast-rich rendering Leica is famous for in a fixed-lens compact.

✔ Premium titanium body – Wrapped in a durable titanium shell with leather-effect hand grips, the Minilux feels every bit the precision instrument it is, while staying pocketable and light enough for everyday carry.

✔ Smart autofocus & auto-exposure – Active infrared autofocus locks on quickly, while programmed and aperture-priority auto-exposure modes take the guesswork out of getting a correctly exposed frame every time.

✔ Built-in flash, multiple modes – The integrated flash offers auto, on, off, red-eye reduction and slow-sync modes, so you're covered from bright daylight through to low-light interiors.

✔ Compact, travel-ready design – At just 124 x 67 x 38mm and around 330g with battery, the Minilux slips easily into a jacket pocket or small bag, making it an ideal everyday or travel companion.

The Leica Minilux is a rare chance to use genuine Leica optics in a compact, point-and-shoot body - a favourite of collectors and film photographers who want standout image quality without carrying a full photography kit.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V lithium 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.
