Oskar Barnack invented the first working prototype of a 35mm Leica camera in 1914, and Leica has continued to refine and innovate its camera designs over the past century. Its versatile Leica C-Lux compact camera has a 15x zoom, a touchscreen and features a Leica DC Vario-Elmar 8.8–132 mm f/3.3–6.4 ASPH lens and a 20-megapixel sensor for continuous shooting at a rate of up to 10 frames per second. With its 15-fold optical zoom and 4K video recording capability, it adapts to every situation while delivering high-quality pictures.
