The similarities between the Leica X2 and the classics of the M system go deeper than merely their stylish exteriors. In terms of image quality in particular, the X2 fears no comparison with its larger cousin. Remarkably compact and easy to use, the X2 gives photographers the flexibility to capture moments and impressions exactly as they are - authentic and unrehearsed.

The Leica Elmarit 24 mm f/2.8 ASPH.

Countless iconic images in the history of photography were shot with a fixed focal length of 35 mm. This focal length is considered to be a classic for reportage photography, and has lost none of its timeless charisma today. The Leica Elmarit 24 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a true Leica lens with terrific optical performance. When seen in terms of 35-mm film format, it has precisely this legendary focal length of 35 mm.

Autofocus Competence

The autofocus of the X2 enables photographers to react in an instant. At the same time, the autofocus mode can be modified to suit the situation. Photographers have a choice of 1 or 11 AF segments and an additional high-speed mode for each. When taking photos of people, face-recognition mode allows complete concentration on the composition and framing of the picture.
