The Leica AF‑C1 is a compact 35mm autofocus camera from the late 1980s, offering a simple point‑and‑shoot experience with Leica’s characteristic design and straightforward controls. It features a dual‑focal‑length system (wide and tele), reliable autofocus and a bright viewfinder, making it an easy and enjoyable camera for everyday film photography. This example is in fully working condition apart from the flash, which does not fire. All other functions operate correctly, including film advance, shutter, autofocus and exposure.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good (Flash Not Working) Camera powers on and operates normally. Autofocus, shutter, transport and exposure all function as expected. The built‑in flash does not fire and should be considered non‑working. Exterior shows light cosmetic wear consistent with age but remains well‑presented.

Collectors Notes
The AF‑C1 is an interesting part of Leica’s compact‑camera history, offering a dual‑focal‑length system and a distinctly late‑80s design. While not as well‑known as the Minilux or C‑series, it has become increasingly sought after by collectors and film enthusiasts looking for something different from the mainstream point‑and‑shoots. Examples with fully working electronics are becoming harder to find; this one remains a solid user camera for daylight shooting despite the non‑working flash.
