I hope this information is helpful Sam Shoshan Classic Connection LLC Memo : New Minilux Zoom We are pleased to announce the introduction of our latest top of the line compact camera: the Minilux Zoom and its accessory flash, theCF. The camera is best distinguished by its features: The Lens A newly calculated, powerful zoom lens, the Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70/f3.5-6.5 is the highest speed zoom lens we have ever designed for a compact camera. It is a LEica calculation from our top designer,Lothar Kolsh. The Design The minilux zoom has the same basic body as the minilux. We succeeded in optimizing this excellent design!! In order to the camera a new look (which is immediately Noticeable in showcases), the minlux zoom does not have the leather covering that the minlux has. This makes the camera appear smaller, more rounded, and more elegant. The New Dial We were also able to make another user friendly adjustment. The dial of the minilux zoom has been fitted with a "click stop" between the AF and manual focus settings. This will help eliminate any accidental switching. The external flash An alternative to the built-in flash is the opportunity to connect the external flash unit, the new Leica CF. This connection allows the flash unitto virtually eliminate the red-eye effect and to optimally illuminate objects which are further away. The CF has a guide number of 20, is optimally coordinated with the camera, and is integrated with the automatic control upon connection. When the CF is connected to the minilux zoom, the automatic internal flash is turned off. The minilux zoom is compatible with all previous minilux accessories (diopters, etc) Prices: #018-036 Minilux Zoom $895 #018-037 Minilux Zoom DB $995 #018-541 CF Flash $125 #018-513 Soft leather case $ 45 #018-532 Lens cap $ 19 - ------=_NextPart_000_01BD88ED.DF265560 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><head></head><BODY bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF"><p><font size=3D2 = color=3D"#000000" face=3D"Arial">	<br><br> Hi Everyone,<br>The = following is a memo from Leica USA to the dealers.<br>I hope this = information is helpful<br>Sam Shoshan<br>Classic Connection LLC<br><br> = Memo : New Minilux Zoom<br><br><br>We are pleased to announce the = introduction of our latest top of the line compact camera:<br>the = <b>Minilux Zoom</b> and its accessory flash, the<b>CF.</b><br><br>The = camera is best distinguished by its features:<br><b><i><br>The = Lens</i></b><br><br>A newly calculated, powerful zoom lens, the Leica = Vario-Elmar 35-70/f3.5-6.5 is the highest speed zoom lens we have ever = designed for a compact camera.
