The AF-C1 was a clone of a Minolta camera and, except the price and the design (the "red dot"), the two cameras had in common a very poor optical quality, especially in the tele position (a converter on a wide angle lens !).I used to use that camera and I was ver= y disappointed : Leica for the first time sold a bad thing.=20 In my crystal ball I don't see a new minilux.
