Leica C-Lux 1
The Leitz C-Lux 1 is a compact digital camera from the mid-2000s, produced under the Leica/Leitz name as part of the consumer-oriented C-Lux line. It sat in the point-and-shoot segment rather than alongside the brand's rangefinder bodies, aimed at buyers wanting a pocketable digital with Leica branding.
At recent UK auction, hammer results for the C-Lux 1 have been modest, with two recorded sales of £88 (2023) and £101 (2025) giving a range of roughly £88–£100 and a median around £95. With only a small sample of saleroom data, today's price is sensitive to cosmetic condition, working electronics, and the presence of the original battery and charger — none of which typically add much on a camera of this type.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
