Thanks to its fast lens and wide ISO sensitivity range, the X1 rarely
needs a flash. However, the retractable flash of the Leica X1 can do
much more than simply replace other sources of light. It also serves
as a fill-in flash and can be synchronized to the second curtain when
longer shutter speeds are used. If more power and flexibility are re-
quired, the dedicated Leica SF 24D and SF 58 system flash units are
also compatible with the X1’s hot shoe.

The X1 is endowed with a completely different character when the
dedicated accessory finder matched to the focal length of its lens is
attached to the hot shoe. Just raise the camera with this optional
accessory to your eye, assess the situation in an instant, and shoot –
all rather discreet and in a split second. If required, the camera dis-
play can be turned off when using the accessory finder. In this case, a
prominently placed LED still confirms successful automatic focusing.

Single-handed operation? No problem at all with the hand grip. The
hand grip ensures that the fingers of the right hand have a signifi-
cantly better grip. In addition to the above, a comprehensive range
of camera cases is also available for the Leica X1. For instance, the
ever-ready case: this protects the camera and keeps it handy for fast
and flexible shooting. It offers sufficient room for the camera with an
attached handgrip, and features a smaller case attached to the carry-
ing strap to hold the accessory finder. The premium-quality transport
case offers perfect protection for the camera, while the attractively
designed system case offers enough room for the camera and all its
accessories.

Photographs taken by the Leica X1 seem to be moments plucked directly from life. It’s no wonder that sometimes
a second glance reveals that they have captured something that had previously been unnoticed. That’s one of the
reasons the images taken by the Leica X1 are so fascinating and extraordinary. The Leica X1 itself also contains more
than meets the eye. The flash, for example, only appears when it’s needed. The range of clever accessories for the
Leica X1 lets photographers tailor the camera to suit their individual requirements.
