Red Dot Cameras

This place is owned and run by a husband and wife team. They are very personable; he is friendly and nice, she is friendly and sour. They are a Leica dealership that also sells Billingham bags and a few very funky little Manfrotto tripod — table top stand thingys. They also have a broad and ever changing range of second hand equipment that includes anything you might screw in, mount on or wrap around a Leica or other rangefinder camera. They often have a fair selection of Voigtlander and Zeiss lenses as well as a vast selection of used Leica lenses. It’s the only Leica dealership within walking distance of the city (Jacobs doesn’t count as a body and 3 lenses do not a dealership make). Their new prices are in line with everyone elses, the bags are possibly cheaper from Fleabay, but you can come in here and try them out, their secondhand lenses are cheaper than Fleabay and warranteed for 6 months by the shop, again, you can also have a look at them here and check them out on your M8/​9 or whatever.
I like the place, it’s just a little too close to my place of work, which makes it a dangerous place for my credit card.

Working in the city of London, I was looking to treat myself of a good quality camera, I was advised by collegues to try Leica. I feel I was very lucky to find Red Dot Camera’s nearby. Very knowledgably and very helpful staff, with non of the usual hard sell you get from the high street. Taking the time to listen to what I use my camera for and what I wanted out of it, the manager advised me to buy the VLux-​1 camera. I never been so impressed wth a camera before, technically excellent peice of kit coupled with ease of use.
If anyone in London is looking for a Leica, I’d definately recommend them here first!
