The Leica Minilux is a metal-bodied camera with two concentric rotary controls for [1] selecting program exposure or setting a specific aperture and [2] for selecting either autofocus or a manually set distance. The Leica Mini (in its three incarnations) is a relatively conventional Af point-and-shoot camera with I believe a plastic body and no lens cover. It has no manual controls for aperture or distance.
