Where Passion for Photography Comes to Life

Our stores have been places for seeking inspiration, fostering exchange and exploring photographic culture for 20 years. It is here that encounters take place that go far beyond purchasing a camera. Bound together by our shared passion for photography, we are celebrating two decades of Leica Store history alongside a global community of photographers.

A Community That Brings People Together

Every Leica Store has its own history. It is shaped by the people who visit it and the city in which it is located. This connection deserves a lasting memento.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Leica Store concept, you can get your hands on a Leica M11 featuring a glossy black lacquer finish, complete with a personalised anniversary engraving from your Leica Store. This camera impresses not only technically, but also tells the story of where you come from and the community to which you belong. This edition is available exclusively in Leica Stores and Leica Boutiques.

In selected countries, the Leica M11 featuring a glossy black lacquer finish is also available as a set with a colour-coordinated Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. Find out which stores in your country have the anniversary set in stock, ready and waiting for you.

From Store to Social Hub

What started out as a space for selling cameras and accessories in 2006 has become a place where people come together, acting as a meeting point for like-minded individuals. There are galleries, cafés, workshops, and exhibitions. Every Leica Store reflects the culture of its city. Each store is unique, bearing the hallmarks of its region, team, and community.

But the most precious element is not down to design: it is the people who work there. Advisors become trusted points of contact. That first visit often marks the start of a long-standing relationship. This is what makes a store a place you love to return to.
