The Leica C11 Camera
 The
sleek C11 is Leica's first venture into the APS format. It features a 3x
zoom and midroll change, which allows you to choose between three picture
formats (classic, group, or panoramic) and to change partially exposed
films. The Leica C11 is quite compact and extremely simple to operate. The
3x aspherical zoom glass lens permits optimum framing, has drop-in automatic
loading with optical double-exposure protection, automatic film speed
setting, and active autofocus.
It also has a pop-up multiprogram flash with red-eye-reduction,
fill-flash, and night-portrait modes. The Leica C11 has an elegant,
timeless design with an ergonomic, durable metal casing.
