Leica Z2X
The Leitz Z2X is a 35mm autofocus compact film camera sold under the Leica brand in the late 1990s, fitted with a built-in zoom lens. It was positioned as a consumer-grade point-and-shoot rather than a rangefinder or SLR, aimed at buyers who wanted the Leica name on a pocketable holiday camera.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Z2X have spanned roughly £69 to £160, with a midpoint around £110 — these are saleroom wholesale results and exclude buyer's premium. As of 2026 the Z2X remains one of the more affordable ways into the Leica-branded camera market, and what a given example sells for is driven mainly by cosmetic condition and whether the zoom and autofocus still function cleanly. The small sample of tracked sales means the value band is broad rather than tightly defined.
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.
