Alongside the cameras, the shop also offers a extensive range of pre-owned Leica equipment, as well as accessories that include Leica manuals, books, Manfrotto tripods and Billingham bags. A full repair and servicing facility is also offered, and customers own Leica equipment can be sold outright or on a commission basis.

All new cameras on sale at Red Dot Cameras are sourced from Leica UK and carry a full world-wide guarantees.

Red Dot Cameras is run by Ivor and Elaine Cooper, with the help of three knowledgeable Leica users Brian Parkes, Francis Qureshi and Ash Smith.

Ivor has been selling cameras in London for more than 20 years, having worked previously for some of London’s top classic camera companies. He says, "Leica cameras have been my life, I’m an avid user of the cameras and have probably sold more new models during the past 15 years than anyone else in the UK. So it was my mission to open my own store dedicated exclusively to Leica, offering an unrivaled expertise in all things bearing the famous red dot."

Dropped in for a flying visit when visiting London, mainly just to check out this well known Leica emporium. Had a wonderful friendly greeting, a great chat and discussion with the team there-just wonderful. Will definitely visit whenever I’m in town, and use their website to see what stock I might be interested in! Thank you!!
Bought a Leica M11 and 50mm Noctilux 0.95 6 bit silver setup with spare battery and e60 Len’s filter from red dot cameras due to their stock levels and attractive pricing. Their customer service response rate was great and the equipment all turned up the next day in a very well thought out box so that all of the Leica boxes didn’t even have a rub mark on. Great company, great prices and great customer service = you’ll be receiving my repeat business!
I went to purchase a 50mm Voiglander lens for my Leica and had a very bad experience. The staff lacks helpfulness, only engaging with customers who are considering purchasing a new lens and exhibiting judgmental behavior. They were not attentive and focused on assisting customers in making decisions. This isn’t something you’d expect from a reputed store. Additionally, the sales person diverted his attention to another customer while attending to my inquiries, leading to a disappointing experience.
Went for a photographer book event, and it was great to find a well stocked Leica retailer, with what appears a great selection. Will be working out how to buy my next Leica from them.
Excellent service, tremendous knowledge, and willing to share. Was looking for a 35 mm lens for my M11. Red Dot had a few used items. I ended up with one of them - excellent condition. Fair price. Also took advantage of their Leica accessories stock to get an eye piece diaopter. Here Ivor, shop salesman, really helped to insure I got the proper one. Highly recommend and will shop here again.
Friendly and helpful staff. Bought my first Leica film camera here. Highly recommended.
I have browsed the Old Street shop a few times Leica paradise but just made my first purchase online. Lens arrived next working day in superb packaging and great condition - in fact, at least one grade better than was described online. Followed up with a quick question by phone as well and got great friendly service. So pleased there are still independents like Red Dot around. Recommended +++
Went to Red Dot as a recommendation from a photographer friend. I was looking for a Leica Q camera. I found the shop extremely friendly and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. They are family run and the owners were great. After a few cups of tea and a good look at the camera I decided I wanted one. The one thing that I found outstanding was there was no pressure from anyone to buy the camera and they gave me great advice and because of this I am now a Red Dot loyal customer. I had to wait 6 weeks for the camera and I have it now. Great shop and service, great owners and great staff. Thanks to Ivor, Elaine, Ashley and Francis.
Great shop to test all Leica equipment new/old. Visited the shop multiple times before purchasing my first Leica and putting a deposit on a lens. Can put 10% deposit on item and pay off within three month period - great if you want to put an item aside but don't have the cash that minute! Doesn't matter if you're buying the cheapest or most expensive item, you get treated the same. Gave good advice in helping me choose the right package lens and camera.
Incredible service, obviously passionate about the Leica experience. As a first time buyer I was welcomed in to the store with the same level of respect as a frequent buyer - which is what I aim to be thanks to the way I was treated in store today. Thank you.
