Lomopedia: Leica AF-C1
2 11 Share TweetStraight up, the Leica AF-C1 is a compact 35 mm autofocus camera that shoots crisp photos with its two switchable lenses.

The AF-C1 is not to be confused with the later C1 model from Leica. The camera was originally based on the Minolta AF-Tele Super and shoots with two focus lengths: 40 mm f/2.8 and 80 mm f/5.6 lenses. The Leica AF-C1's sleek body design shorter focal length of 40mm set it apart from the Minolta AF-Tele Super.
Some of the more notable features of the AF-C1 are the autoflash setting that activates automatically in poor lighting conditions, variable shutter speed range, viewfinder markings, self-timer, and automatic ISO setting with the DX codes.
