To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Leica Store Manchester, we conceived the creation of an exceptional lens cloth, featuring a bespoke design that celebrates the city's rich heritage and our part of it.

While Leica Store Manchester marks a decade of operation, our lineage as a Leica affiliate extends nearly fifty years, spanning three generations. Beginning as a Leica dealership, our family's association has evolved into the establishment of this dedicated Leica Store.

Stephens of Salford was founded in 1960 by the late Tom Stephens. David Stephens joined the enterprise in 1976 and assumed stewardship in the early 1980s following his father's passing. Ben Stephens joined the family business in the early 2010s, continuing the tradition.

The lens cloth design, crafted by the renowned Manchester artist Dave Draws, intricately illustrates the locations and dealerships throughout our history in the city. 

The cloth is 37x37cm, washable and has stitched edges.
