LEICA MINILUX ZOOM - 1999.  The Minilux Zoom was produced from 1999-2006. Lens 35-70 mm f/3.5-5.6. MSRP was $750. This camera was given to me by my beautiful niece, Faa, whose photo can be seen on the 1997S page under the Sony Mavica MVC-FD5. Like many film cameras these days, it has spent recent years in a dresser drawer. In fact, it shows no signs of use whatsoever and appears to have just been purchased.
