Hi Folks, I'm based in Ireland and unfortunately it appears there are no Leica dealers here anymore so I'll have to purchase one online. I'm looking to buy the Q2.
Is there a general recommended store for European purchases?

Thanks so much.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

There is a dealer locator on Leica’s website.

Thanks for that. Sorry I probably never made myself clear. There are no Leica Camera dealers here in Ireland (plenty of shops seeing binoculars etc though) so I was wondering if there was a specific one to order from for European orders.

Meister Camera. Hamburg and Berlin. The most reliable shop I know.

Thanks so much. I'll check that out!

Do UK purchases attract Irish import tax?

Hi folks,

A quick update on this. I ended up purchasing the camera from Leica Austria online. They were brilliant to deal with and once I registered with them they were able to apply my Vat number which removed the tax at source and also are posting it to me in Ireland with no shipping cost. Pretty incredible service. 

All I had to do was email them at brandnew@leicashop.com and explain that I lived in Ireland and they did that for me.

Thanks for the replies all.

Dave

Reassuring. I've just bought a Summilux-M 35 pre-asph and Apo-Macro-Elmarit-R 100 from them and, thanks to Brexit, Covid and delivery to my daughter in Brussels, won't see them till October at the earliest.
