Leica X- CAMERASTh b st n th r l ss.

The highest possible imaging quality plus maximum creative free -dom: Leica has been designing and constructing cameras on theseguiding principles for 100 years. And they also apply to the com-pact Leica X cameras, which set new standards for imaging qualityin their class. Like all Leica cameras they are built on the founda-tion of a century of knowledge and experience, innovative design,and passion. With the Leica X2 and the Leica X Vario, the X-Familyoffers the worlds only compact high-performance cameras madein Germany an emblem of quality that speaks for itself, and issystematically embodied in the Leica X la carte program and anextensive range of accessories.

01 LEICA X2

The Leica X2 represents nothing less than the sheer joy of photog-raphy. With its classic 35 mm equivalent lens, it makes each mo-ment captured something truly special and with brilliant picturequality. It is always the photographers decision whether to relyon automatic exposure or on its numerous manual setting options.High-quality materials and superior nishing make the compactLeica X2 an absolute pleasure to hold, handle, and use for exquisitecreative expression.

02 LEICA X VARIO

The Leica X Vario is a further development of the Leica X2, and fea-tures several signi cant design characteristics of the landmarkLeica M. Its Leica Vario lens with an equivalent zoom range cover-ing 28 to 70 mm and full-HD video recording capability expand itsfree dom for creative expression. The result: images of unrivaledquality in its class. The Leica X Vario is a true Leica through andthrough.
