Why do you need VF page ?? You can use standard clone or Visual flows or quick actions

Hi Adi,

Below code can fulfill your requirements. Hope this will work for you.

(1) Create a VF page with standard controller as lead and apex class as extension. 
===================================================================
<apex:page standardController="lead" extensions="customcloneLead">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="Lead details">
<apex:pageBlockSection title="My Content Section" columns="2">
<apex:inputField value="{!lead.company}" />
<apex:inputfield value="{!lead.firstname}"/>
<apex:inputfield value="{!lead.lastname}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:commandButton action="{!clonelead}" value="save clone"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
        </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

(2) Create a apex extension class. 
=============================
public class customcloneLead{
private lead l;
public customcloneLead(apexpages.standardcontroller std){
this.l = (lead)std.getrecord();
}

public void clonelead(){
lead l1 = new lead();
l1 =l.clone();
insert l1;
}
}


(3) Create a custom button on the Lead object which can be an onclick javascript button depending on your needs. Add that button in the layout. 
Sample Javascript Button:
=====================
window.location.href = "/apex/customcloneLead?id={!Lead.Id}";

Please mark this as best answer if this solves your problem.

Thank you
