Welcome to the Leica Fellowship, a group of friends who share an interest in Leica photography.
Twice a year members can meet for a weekend away in a different part of the UK.
A quarterly newsletter contains news and articles, written by members. You should have received one recently. As well as the weekends, which are great fun, members communicate by email, telephone or Zoom meetings and through this website.
Our website has two main aims:
1. To inform our existing members.
Regular news updates will be the main method of informing members of future plans and meetings. The Gallery will show examples of members’ Leica photography.
2. To attract new members
We hope that our website will attract new members. There is help in abundance for those new to Leica ownership. What better place to learn about fine photography with a Leica?
For a modest subscription; and an interest in Leica equipment, you could join us. You would receive a warm and welcoming letter, and gain the opportunity to make new friends, possibly within your home area. We have members from overseas, but most live in the UK. Why not take that first step by using the link: Contact us here
and register your interest for the attention of our Membership Secretary?

30th October 2026
30th October 2026
This week Gerald Stone tells us about the visit to Wetzlar that he arranged and which took place in May of 2026.
Gerald's article is quite long but is worth reading as it shows how Leica look after visiting members to a high standard. Members have the opportunity to get equipment serviced and to use new equipment to see if it mets their requirements.
Senior members of the organisation give lectures and conducted tours and there are chances to go out and take photographs in the city itself as well as on the campus.
A fuller version of this visit will appear in the Newsletter.
The following thumbnails show both the Leica Campus and also Wetzlar.
