Leica Minilux
 | The Minilux was introduced in 1995. It is a joint effort by Leica and Matsushita-Panasonic. The camera and optics are a Leica design with Matsushita providing the engineering and manufacturing. The "highlight" of this excellent nifty camera is its specially-developed Summarit 40mm f/2.4 lens, capable of producing excellent results. The camera's finish is superb and very stylish. Also the motorized film transport is very nice to hear, almost silent. Its shape is a little boxy but that makes it easy and stable to hold. This camera delivers top-notch Leica quality at a fraction of the cost of M or R equipment, thus being an ideal lightweight companion to a full-fledged M or R equipment. It can also be an excellent introduction to Leica for new users. |
