Leica Mini

{"overview":"The Leitz Mini is a 35mm compact camera introduced in the early 1990s as part of Leitz's move into the point-and-shoot market. In today's market the camera trades as a modest collector compact rather than a high-value Leitz piece, and what a clean example is worth hinges heavily on cosmetic condition, working electronics and the presence of the original case or box — rough bodies can sell for less than half what a tidy one fetches.","buying_guide":"Because the Mini is a battery-dependent electronic compact, the first checks are that the shutter fires, the autofocus confirms, the flash recycles and the film transport runs without stalling; failures in any of these are often uneconomic to repair. Inspect the front element and viewfinder for fungus or haze, look for sticky or leaking battery contacts in the grip, and confirm the back latch and light seals are intact.
