premium retail facilities with integrated
café and exclusive photographic studio
Café Optik and Leica Client Care now offering a
unique, personal service as part of Leica Store
Mayfair experience; discreet new studio open
for professional photographers
17 May 2012: Leica Camera Ltd has today announced the opening of its extended retail premises
encompassing three buildings in Bruton Place, Mayfair, providing Leica customers with a range of
premium services, including Café Optik, a complimentary café-style area for Leica owners, and the
company’s exclusive new professional photographic studio, Studio-S.
At 27 Bruton Place, located just off Berkeley Square in Mayfair, Leica’s Client Care team offers expert
advice tailored to customers’ specific needs, as well as light repairs for camera and optics customers, and
sensor-cleaning for Leica M- and S-System owners. Alongside this facility is Café Optik, providing a
relaxed and friendly atmosphere, where customers are welcomed when visiting any part of the Leica
complex.
With convenient and efficient access for professional photographers, a new rental service is also available
on the ground floor: Rental-S. This service incorporates rental of Leica’s high performance S-System, as
well as hire of Studio-S.
Studio-S is available to hire exclusively to photographers using the Leica S-System, and includes changing
and make-up areas, hospitality and digital operator facilities. The studio is ideally located and appropriate
for high-profile or private shoots, where discretion is paramount. As well as on-site equipment, Leica
offers additional support such as Leica-trained photographic assistants, therefore providing a unique hire
package. Information on hire, including costs and availability, can be obtained by calling 020 7629 1351,
or emailing [email protected].
At 34 Bruton Place, the Leica Store Mayfair continues to offer the entire range of Leica products, with the
expanded Leica Akademie training facility and new Leica Media Centre located upstairs on the first floor.
In addition, gallery space will be available throughout the three-building complex in the future, showcasing
the best in Leica photography.
Bruton Place is located in the heart of Mayfair between Old Bond Street and Berkeley Square. For more
