Leitz Mini

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. It was positioned as a pocketable autofocus companion to the company's rangefinder system, aimed at users who wanted the brand's name on a simple everyday camera rather than a full mechanical body.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Mini have sat in a £100–£200 band, with a 2025 Chiswick result at £126 and a 2024 sale at £200 bracketing the current level. 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.
