For anyone who's interested in the history of photography, this place needs no introduction when it comes to Leica cameras. Founded in 1914 in Wetzlar Germany, the famous German camera company is well-known for making high-quality and expensive 35mm cameras.

In 1913, Oskar Barnack made the world’s first commercially successful 35mm still-camera, known as the Ur-Leica. Since, Leica has manufactured what some call “luxury cameras.” Some Leica cameras can reach a $10,000 price tag and some are considered art pieces because of their high-quality glass and design. 

A small camera store in Milan holds possibly the largest collection of these historically significant cameras in Europe. The store obtains the cameras from private collectors and auctions.

The collection contains around 450 Leica cameras from different periods. It also features other unique cameras as well, including famous photographer Gianni Berengo Gardini’s own personal Leica M-6. Photographers from around the world come here to buy and view the impressive and mind-blowingly expensive Leica collection.
