The Leica C1 is a 35mm film compact camera from Leica's autofocus point-and-shoot range, sitting at the more affordable end of the brand's lineup when it was sold new. It was aimed at users who wanted Leica branding and build in a fully automatic travel-friendly body rather than a rangefinder or SLR.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Leica C1 have ranged from £80 to £150, with a midpoint around £115 across the limited sales we have on file. Because this is a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price, dealer-listed examples in 2026 typically sell for more, and condition, working flash, and the presence of the original case or box are the main factors that push a C1 toward the upper end of that range.
