Leica C1 35mm FIlm Camera with Leica Vario-Elmar 38-105mm with Original Documentation and Leica Leather Case. Excellent condition

Leica is a brand name that we often link to good build quality and design when it comes to rangefinder cameras but how about point-and-shoots? Do their smaller cameras do justice to the Leica name?

The Leica C1 is every bit the point-and-shoot film camera that you would expect from the German camera maker. It’s clean, sleek, and minimalist in design. It looks super stealthy and offers a bit of class and elegance to the user. Leica managed to take a modern design path with the C1.
The C1 is easy-to-use, especially on casual photo walks. The C1 is compact and lightweight, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry and quick snapshots. It has a wide zoom focus range — from 38 mm to 105 mm thanks to its more-than-capable Leica Vario-Elmar zoom lens. The lens is also praised by a lot of users for delivering clean and sharp images.
The date tagging system adds to the camera’s old school flavor — it makes sure that each photograph is stamped with the date and time when it was taken. Operation is also quiet, that means users can go in and out of photo situations while staying discreet. The flash on the C1 is also notable. It’s strong enough for dimly-lit subjects but users are suggested to use it when shooting 10 feet from the subject to deal with red-eye issues.

Overall, the Leica C1 is an excellent choice for anyone who’s looking to get a point-and-shoot camera.
Among the Leica compacts for 35mm film it had the widest zoom lens focus range, ranging from 38mm to 105 mm. Compared to Leica's conservative camera concepts it was a quite modern camera, with imprinting of date and time, and several flash usage modes.
