About the brand ❤️
Leica Camera AG is a prestigious German optics and camera manufacturer, renowned for its high-end photographic and precision optical equipment. Established in 1869 by Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar, the company’s name “Leica” comes from combining “Leitz” and “camera.” Known for innovations such as the first 35mm compact camera and the M-series rangefinder, Leica blends craftsmanship, precision optics, and durable mechanical design. Its product range includes still cameras (both film and digital), lenses, binoculars, rifle scopes, ophthalmic optics, and sport optics. While manufacturing and design remain rooted in Germany (with state-of-the-art facilities like Leitz Park in Wetzlar), Leica has global reach and brand licensing arrangements. It remains privately held, with investment ownership and licensing partnerships, preserving its reputation as a luxury and professional optics brand.
