A lens of the very best kind

Decades of experience, sophisticated com- puter programs and high-grade optical glasses led to the fastest zoom lens of all on Leica compact cameras. It stands up to the comparison to the famous lenses for Leica R and Leica M cameras and it covers the full range from a medium wide-angle lens to a short telephoto lens.

Ready at all times

No matter whether you use the accurate automatic controls or your own manual settings, you are always ready for a quick photograph. You can store specific function combinations to be in effect for a number of exposures and you can also store them permanently. The camera’s display informs you comprehensively at all times of all the selected parameters.

Individual composition The way to successful creative picture compositions : Using measured value storage, you can also assign sharpness and exposure to subjects away from the center of the picture, you can manually set the exposure for different sections of the picture or you can manually adjust the exposure for very dark or very light subjects. The flash can be switched off for mood scenes, or it can be activated as a pre-flash or a fill-in flash. As you wish it.

Powerful expansion Use the built-in flash or use the camera’s accessory shoe to attach the accessory LEICA CF flash unit : to illuminate larger spaces or more distant subjects, or to reduce the unpleasant red-eye effect. A remote cable release and a panorama adapter are additional useful accessories.

Precise controls The distance to the subject is established precisely by the active infrared autofocus function, or if you prefer, you can set it manually yourself. In conjunction with the center-weighted exposure metering function, the programmed automatic exposure control produces well-balanced exposures. If you wish, the built-in flash activates itself automatically in low light situations. With the “B” setting, exposure times longer than 2 seconds are possible. With the “T” setting, you can even make exposures without camera shake for up to 99 seconds. In this setting, the flash is automatically switched off.

Universal lens You can rely on this lens in any situation : with its range of focal lengths, you can crop your pictures in a great variety of ways and the lens produces fantastic results even in low-light situations.
