I must admit for a compact I was very impressed with the results and you have got some manual latitude. I think having a lens that goes to f2.4 makes quite a difference.

The camera is small, convenient but the zoom lens isn't sharp. Even my wife commented that the images didn't seem clear. I am about to purchase her first Leica. I thought I'd get her the Minilux Zoom. I already have the Contax T2 and TVS cameras for travel. Has anyone had any experience with the Minlux Zoom? Any comments would be helpful. The top shutter speed is only 1/250 of a second. Many thanks. Happy shooting, Richard Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA
