Established in in Germany in 1849, the Leica brand has long since been synonymous with outstanding quality, hand-crafted perfection, discerning palates and timeless appeal. This month, we’ve been celebrating the Leica camera brand with an in-store exhibition and a few additions to our Leica boutique. If you have not yet experienced the current exhibition then be sure to drop by the store before 4 April 2016.
Our March exhibition showcases key pieces in a rare Leica magazine collection. We've curated an installation that spans 40 years, with the earliest editions being published in the 1960's. An interesting look through the ages, follow the gallery up to our first floor café where you’ll find the Leica Boutique. Here, we highlight some of the latest offerings from these industry leaders while also showcasing numerous vintage Leica cameras and lenses. Chat to one of our knowledgeable sales consultants to find out more about the brand, history and latest cameras, lenses and binoculars on offer. You may continue to follow the gallery as it winds up another two flights of stairs to our rooftop garden where views of Long Street await you.
