Beginning of the new Era of Leica in the Philippines?

Leica opened its first store in the Philippines 10 years ago under the Lucerne Group. Now in its 10th year, leadership has transitioned to Henry's Camera Group. Previously an official distributor, Henry's Camera Group has now taken over the operations of Leica Store Philippines.

Alongside the celebration is the official arrival of the new Leica Q3 43 which was originally introduced globally in September 2024.

The new Q3 43 features a new 43mm f/2.0 APO-Summicron lens, a gray leatherette and a 3-inch 1.8 Million-dot tilting touch display. Inside is the 60.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor, the Maestro IV processor, a 2,200mAh BP-SCL6 Lithium-ion battery and an IP52 water and dust resistance rating.

Leica D-Lux 8 with DC Vario-Summilux lens

Aside from the new Q3 43, the Leica D-Lux 8 was also spotted. It is a compact camera with a 17MP micro-four-thirds CMOS sensor, a 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 equivalent lens, a 3-inch articulating LCD screen, an electronic viewfinder, and a DP-DC15 lithium-ion battery.

Lastly, we spotted in the store the Leica M11-D. It is a variant of the Leica M11 but without the rear screen. In its place is the ISO dial. Like the M11 Monochrom and the M11-P, it has an internal storage of 256GB.
