Design
The Leica D-Lux 2 features an anodized aluminum body, giving it a solid, high-quality feel. The lens incorporates aspherical (ASPH) elements, indicated by its "DC Vario-Elmarit ASPH" designation, which helps reduce optical aberrations and improve image sharpness across the zoom range.
Market
A used but unused example was listed for £295 in the classifieds of *Amateur Photographer* in April 2011. A Reddit user reported buying one for 90€, so secondhand prices have varied over time.
