Some things just belong on a Leica.

The KEKS light meters have landed at Leica Store Manchester and they might be one of the cleanest modern additions you can make to a classic M body.

Shown here:
• The beautifully minimal M-Meter mounted on the Leica M-A
• The KM-Q sitting perfectly on a black Leica M4

No apps. No distractions. Just a beautifully mechanical shooting experience with a little modern reassurance when the light gets tricky.

The KM-Q especially feels right at home on black chrome bodies — subtle, understated and properly period-correct in spirit.

Perfect for anyone shooting meterless M cameras who wants to keep the experience pure without sacrificing usability.

Available now in-store and online. Which combo are you choosing? 👀

Led by Leica photographer Milan Swolfs, you’ll go beyond the technical — learning how to shape light, shoot wide open with confidence, and create images with real atmosphere.

From theory to the streets, finishing with a guided critique session — this is about seeing differently.

The Noctilux has always had a certain presence.

Seeing that same character arrive in 35mm just feels genuinely lovely — familiar, but somehow more everyday.

It’s the sort of lens you take a moment with. Pick it up, turn it over in your hands, and slow down a little.

It’s here to spend some time with at Leica Store Manchester.
