Leica has finally opened a concept store at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, and the 948-square foot store is dedicated to one thing only – letting everyone get a taste of the Leica experience.
A wide selection of cameras are on display, like the more consumer-oriented Leica V-Lux and D-Lux pictured here. Also available, are merchandise like the LFI magazine and the Leica camera bags pictured here.
A new initiative with the Marina Bay Sands store is the Leica Camera Loyalty Programme, which you can qualify for via individual purchase tiers. The lowest tier is the Leica Club tier, which costs just $25, and that’s easily reached by picking up a copy of LFI magazine ($27).
Of course, the top-of-the-line Leica S is present, along with its selection of lenses.
Also available, are some of Leica’s newer additions, like the Leica X-U, which we covered in this news piece here.
Of course, you have to expect a Leica M-P sighting.
Speaking of which, the Marina Bay Sands store even gets its very own camera – a limited edition Leica MP 240 “Marina Bay Sands” Edition has been released to commemorate the occasion.
The limited edition camera has been engraved with a silhouette of the Marina Bay Sands skyline, with a symbol of a lion on the hood of the lens.
It’s also wrapped in an all-new silver leatherette with a unique dot structure that matches the silver Leica Summilux-M 1:1.4/35mm ASPH lens. Only 18 have been created worldwide, and they will retail exclusively at this new store.
Also found at the store, are Leica collectibles, like these soft release buttons.
And this exclusive Leica watch.
There’s also going to be a permanent shooting area set up at the back of the store where you can try out the various Leica cameras. There won’t always be a pretty model there, but Leica says they intend to hold in-store workshops, talks and engagement sessions on Saturdays in August from 2-5pm at the store. Find out more here.
