Customer's reviews

If you're into photography, cameras, birding, or simply want a cool experience, then I'd recommend visiting the brand new Chicago Leica store. It's a beautiful space showcasing historical Leica ephemera, the newest Leica gear, and works of local artists. The staff are immensely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, allowing you to handle any of their items in store for a hands on experience. It is place designed for functional luxury without the snobbery sometimes associated with Leica users. Whether you're a long-time fan or first time user, the new space is worth the visit. ~ Norris L
I had a wonderful experience purchasing my Leica SL3 from Leica Chicago. Jacques and the team were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the process. They took the time to answer my questions, walk me through the options, and make sure I felt confident in the purchase. You can tell they genuinely care about the Leica experience, not just the sale. Jacques followed up afterward as well, which was a really nice touch. I’m excited to get out and start shooting with the SL3, and I’ll definitely be returning to Leica Chicago for future gear, advice, and support. Highly recommend working with Jacques and the team. ~ Gunnar M
Strolled in to the store the day after the soft opening and had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful and enjoyed the exhibit of local photographers. The store is very nicely laid out and while I was pondering a Leica Q I only walked away with a shutter button for my M6. A big thank you to Allie who showed me around and engaged in conversation around photography. I would definitely recommend people stop by if even to check out the art work and chat with the knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Chicago. ~ Hector R
