Rare Leica finds at Leica Store Lisse


Leica Store Lisse (see previous coverage), located in the shopping center of Lisse, Netherlands (Kapelstraat 3), and owned by Foto Henny Hoogeveen, is an official Leica dealer that has been serving photographers for over 55 years. Billed as “a mecca for the true Leica enthusiast,” it draws customers from across the country and is renowned for its museum-like store concept, often described as a “monument to photography in marble”. The store is especially known for housing one of the largest collections of unique Leica museum pieces, rare special-edition cameras and lenses, prototypes, and hard-to-find collectibles, many of which are offered through their active eBay presence – they even have the giant Leica sculptures listed on eBay (more info):


Alongside the latest Leica models, the store also sells pre-owned equipment, accessories, and products from brands such as Rollei, Hasselblad, and Gibellini. Leica Store Lisse also hosts regular lectures, training, and workshops for photographers. Leica Store Lisse has been a sponsor of LeicaRumors for many years.

Here is some of the Leica gear they have for sale from their Facebook feed and Instagram account (check out their latest listings on eBay):
