Looking for a compact 35mm camera that brings genuine Leica optics to true point-and-shoot ease?

✔ Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70mm zoom lens – Seven elements in six groups deliver sharp, contrast-rich results across the zoom range, from wide environmental shots at 35mm to flattering short-telephoto portraits at 70mm.

✔ Precision titanium body – Built with a titanium outer shell and leather-wrapped grip, the Minilux Zoom feels every bit the premium Leica it is, while staying compact enough to carry everywhere.

✔ Fully automatic operation – Active infrared autofocus and program autoexposure (with shift override) let you simply point, zoom and shoot, with manual and long-exposure modes on hand when you want more control.

✔ Smart built-in flash – With automatic flash activation, red-eye reduction and slow-speed sync, you're covered in almost any lighting situation. The Leica Minilux also features a dedicated hot shoe for connecting external high-output dedicated flash units.

The Leica Minilux Zoom is for anyone who wants the Leica name and genuine Leica glass in a camera they can slip in a pocket and shoot without thinking twice. Whether you're a collector after a beautifully made titanium compact or a film shooter who wants effortlessly sharp results, the Minilux Zoom delivers a genuinely premium point-and-shoot experience.

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

To learn more about our camera grades, please view our Grading Scale.

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: The 35-70mm zoom range makes this a versatile all-rounder — wide enough for travel and street scenes, with enough reach for flattering candid portraits. Metering and the built-in flash are accurate across a wide range of lighting conditions.

Beginner Friendly?: Mostly! Operation is still point-and-shoot simple, though it's worth spending a few minutes with the top dial before your first roll.
