Leica Store Philippines celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking a decade since opening its first location at Greenbelt 5 in Makati City. Over the years, the store has become more than a retail space — it’s a community hub for Filipino photographers, both seasoned and budding, to explore their passion.
In celebration, Leica has partnered with Henry’s Cameras, one of the Philippines’ leading camera retailers. The partnership aligns Leica’s rich history with Henry’s commitment to the local photography community.
“Henry’s has been an integral part of Philippine photography for decades, not only by empowering photographers with quality products and solutions but, more importantly, by opening spaces where storytellers can share their passion for image-making,” said Nicholson Ong, president of Leica Store Philippines. “With Leica joining Henry’s portfolio, we’re excited to elevate the photographic experience for our community.”

The partnership also coincides with the debut of the Leica Q3 43, the newest addition to Leica’s Q-series cameras. Launched globally in September 2024, the Q3 43 features a 43mm fixed focal length, an OLED viewfinder, and a macro mode for close-up shots. It offers three resolution options — 60, 36, and 18 megapixels—and integrates smoothly with iOS devices for easy photo sharing via the Leica FOTOS app.
The event also showcased Leica’s milestones in the country, which cements the brand’s continued commitment to the Filipino photography scene, creating fresh opportunities for photographers and enthusiasts to connect.
