Description from the seller
This barely used Leica Minilux comes with an original carrying case featuring a compartment for the concise instruction manual. It is a champagne-colored Minilux, order number 18006 and serial number 2147198. The original wrist strap is included, as are the original boxes for the camera and case.
The Minilux is a legendary “luxury compact” from the analog era, thanks to its exceptionally high-performing Leica Summarit F:2.4/40 mm lens, which retracts completely into the body when the camera is switched off. This makes the camera small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, so you can always carry a ready-to-use film camera with you, capable of handling almost any photographic challenge. It offers fabulously accurate autofocus as well as manual focusing; automatic aperture control as well as manual operation; and a built-in flash. In addition to aperture priority, the Minilux also has a program shutter, making it a true “point and shoot.”
The controls are characteristically simple and thoughtfully designed by Leica: everything is operated with a single dial. The camera also features a self-timer, various shooting modes, and a button for deliberate under- or overexposure. The ISO is set automatically for DX-coded film rolls. The camera has an optical viewfinder and a sensitive shutter release. Shutter speeds range from 1/400 to 99 seconds. It has a tripod socket.
The analog era may seem to be over, but with a high-quality camera in your pocket, the basic form of photography feels cutting-edge again. With a Minilux, you’re very much in step with the times—perhaps even ahead of them once more.
