The Leica Z2X is a high-quality 35mm compact zoom camera that allows you to get the shot you need in almost any situation. The Z2X (
Zstands for "zoom" and
2X stands for "double focal length range") boasts a fully automatic exposure control and focus system that ensures well-balanced exposures with maximum ease. It also has a manual override for more creative shooting. The flash activates automatically in low light or can be turned off altogether.
The outstanding Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70mm zoom lens uses optical glass of the highest quality. Special coatings on the lens surface, combined with the best glass, are designed to capture true color as well as super-sharp, high-contrast images. The zoom has three settings--35mm, 50mm, and 70mm-- covering most of the usual needs for scenes such as landscapes, parties, and portraits. A self-timer is included with a frontal flashing-light countdown of approximately 10 seconds.
About LeicaSeventy-five years ago, the first Leica camera was introduced to the public at the 1925 Leipzig Spring Fair. At the time, it was by far the most innovative 35mm camera ever produced (as well as one of the very first). Since then, no camera in the world has been more widely acclaimed for continuously meeting the highest standards of excellence in both optical precision and design quality. Notably, many internationally acclaimed photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado have used Leica cameras throughout their careers. We think you'll find that Leica compact cameras maintain the same integrity as the M and R models used by the pros, but at more affordable prices. The lenses in all Leica 35mm cameras are still designed by the Leica optical department in Solms, Germany. Every compact camera is also tested for quality in Germany before being released. When you choose Leica, you are buying into one of the great traditions in the history of photography.
