Up forauction is a Leica AF-C1 35mm film camera in good condition. The AF-C1 was the first point and shoot camera offered by Leica. It was manufactured for Leica by Minolta in Japan. The camera has two settings-a standard setting of 40mm at f/2.8, and a "tele" setting of 80mm at f/5.6. The flash also moves up when the "tele" button is pressed for longer range. This camera comes complete with original box and packing, instruction booklet, warranty cards, neck strap & battery. The camera serial number is 34113206. CONDITIONI have owned this particular AF-C1 since it was new and it is in overall good condition -- However there are two problems: As can be seen best on the fourth photo, there are two scratches towards the bottom front of the lens surround where the "1:5.6/80" is written. These scratches don't effect the operation of the camera. The second problem is that the flash recycling time is very long (more than 10 minutes), probably due to it not being used in over a decade. This may improve with time as the battery is in the camera, but it also may not.With the exception of the scratches mentioned above, and a few dust spots in the viewfinder, the cosmetic condition of the camera is very good -- please refer to the photos. Also, the film handling (loading, advancing, and rewinding) appears to work OK, as does the exposure metering, read more
