We share in that excitement and we want your Leica experience to be a shining moment in your photographic journey.
QUALITY: We only sell the best — Leica. Period.
SERVICE: We recognize that service is paramount in our competitive world economy. We like to think that no one does it better. And, we assure you, that when we make a mistake, no one is more upset than we are. We have enjoyed a reputation of integrity that is unmatched anywhere – and we endeavor to continue to deserve that reputation.
EXPERTISE: We have used the Leica screw-mount cameras, M cameras, the Leica R system, and Leica digital cameras. We attempt to try everything, and have used virtually every piece of Leica gear brought to market since 1925. If there is a piece of gear that we don’t understand or question, we are determined to make ourselves knowledgeable.
Company founder Stan Tamarkin started collecting, buying, and selling Leica cameras in 1971. Since 1984 Leica has been our full-time focus. From 1995 to 2008 we also had a showroom in New York City, however we closed that location to be closer to our families. In 2012, we moved to Chicago after Stan retired and his eldest son, Dan, took over the family business.
We are open Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
We are closed on most Federal Holidays.
We are no longer by appointment, and are open to the public.Â
