The LEICA D-LUX up for auction comes in a specially made, high-quality box. Gloves are supplied with the camera to protect it from dirt. The offer also includes a certificate personally signed by the executive managers of Leica Camera AG and a single copy of the LEICA D-LUX brochure with fine metal binding.
