Tickets are free - and necessary. RSVP here.
The closing flourish of the Leicapalooza! is Danny T's Bargain Basement sale, much anticipated by the Chicago Leica community. Get Leica gear at ridiculously low prices. Some items are even free... but be prepared to shop Leica items with minor or meaningless flaws – offered once a year, and only once a year. We’ll have non-Leica and medium- and large-format items also!
