I won my first Leica

I won my first Leica! I can not thank Dave and his team at Leica Hunter Comps enough for this.

I can proudly say that I'm now a Leica owner :) I won the Leica Q3 competition and i went with the 43mm which arrived a week later fully sealed and Leica warranty. I was very surprised as i missed the live draw cause i don't use instagram much mainly tiktok and fb. But i got a call while i was at work which i missed (hate picking up random numbers) but they called me back the next day with the news. Biggest smiles as i never win anything and i enter a few other comp sites like 7 Days and BOTB so feeling really lucky.

Top experience and 100% keen to enter again for a film camera.

Many red flags to me too.

Many red flags to me too.
I spotted numerous suspicious things during (and just before) the draw so I stopped buying.
The company is financially dormant declaring no financial activity which in itself is huge red flag. No engagement from winners and you can never find the winner in social media even though this is advertised and run through social media only… do your research before buying tickets

Many red flags

I don't understand how it is possible that in the entire time of the lottery he sold 121 tickets up to 5 minutes before the end and then during the drawing he says he sold 221 tickets. It is also strange that the list of sold numbers mysteriously disappears as soon as the time runs out. I have been participating for a few months and I have noticed this several times. Furthermore, mathematically he has not covered the costs of the camera even once in the last few months, barely half of the cost, which, added to no new winner leaving a review (except for a Sofort), makes me think it is a scam.

Hi GT Enna

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, and we want to clarify a few points to ensure full transparency.

Regarding the ticket count increase, this happens due to outstanding orders that are “on hold” through our manual Stripe Merchant option. This method was introduced for those who prefer not to use PayPal, and since these payments are processed manually, the final count may update close to the draw’s end.

As for the list of sold numbers, once a competition ends, the system automatically marks it as closed and removes it from the live site. This isn’t something we control directly, but we understand how this could seem unclear, so we’ll discuss potential improvements with our development team.

We acknowledge that some of our recent competitions haven’t been as profitable, but we assess our performance on a broader scale, looking at quarterly and yearly trends, where we remain in a stable position.

Regarding winner reviews, we do ask all winners to share their experience and photos, but participation is entirely voluntary. While we’d love for everyone to leave a review, we respect their choice and prefer not to send multiple reminders.

We value all feedback, as it helps us improve. If you have any other concerns, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to discuss further.

It’s real! You could win too!!

I won a leica sofort 2 in an Instagram giveaway and couldn’t believe it! Super lovely people and very quick and secure delivery as I was outside of London so couldn’t collect in person. Me and my partner are entering the draws regularly now, ready to score myself another one soon! 😂 thanks again!!

Just a small note


The site seems reliable and offers the chance to win a Leica camera by purchasing tickets for around £20. The only doubtful and strange thing is that during the draw, the full list of people who bought tickets is never shown, unlike other similar platforms. If this feature were available, everything would be much more transparent.
I've taken part every single week since 2022. I haven't won once, and I've never had proof that my ticket was even included in the draw. Makes you wonder...

Perfect

Being able to get a chance to win would mean a lot to me. I love taken photographs me and my baby girl, so with getting ones of these would help out alot. I’ll be able to follow my passion with doing photographing for others.

I’m another who wishes the competition…

I’m another who wishes the competition deadline wasn’t extended- and extended again. If I have better odds when less people have bought a ticket.. that’s part of the game.
With the current m11-p competition I purchased a ticket 20 days ago- and one reason I did was the feeling less tickets would be purchased for this camera.
If LHC waits as long as they want to end a competition, it’s unfair to the buyers- and takes a lot of fun out of the game. I am less interested in purchasing more tickets if this approach continues.

Hi John,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly value input from our customers, as it helps us continually improve how we operate. I'm excited to let you know that, in September 2024, we’ve implemented a ‘no extensions’ policy for all our competitions. This ensures a fair and equal opportunity for everyone moving forward. We’re confident this change will enhance the experience for all participants.

Thanks again for your support!

Please don’t extend countdowns

I am a regular participant as I simply can‘t afford a new Leica. I respect that winning one is a matter of luck. However, almost every time you extend the countdown by a week or more if only a smaller amount of tickets has been sold. That’s a pity for people like me who a excited about higher odds as it increases the chance of getting one’s dream camera.

Thanks Oliver for your feedback. We have changed up a few functions with our model and a 'no extensions' policy has now been added.

good but a bit glitchy

a couple times i have got stuck on the checkout page with some small error... and then if i go back or want to refresh and start again, the number i picked the first time is unavaliable. apart from that the process is very smooth.

Think and do wider research on this one,please

No, no,no!
Dubious (even 'misleading')and vague London based address and seems to have firmer connections to South Asia 🌏. Looks like so many Singapore and South Asia 'winners' are the 'luckiest benefactors' on this scheme! I do wonder how they hit on Dave!!!

Hi Philip

"firmer connections to South Asia" ? We are a UK based company, we have never operated out of asia.... We have never had a Singapore or South Asia winner so I don't even know what your talking about.

Nice for who’s passionate about photography

I love photography, but since I’m a student and not a professional photographer, I can’t afford professional photography kit like Leica.
L’ho offers you the possibility to win a masterpiece in a professional photography kit

Great competitions for amazing cameras

I have entered several of their competitions and was luck enough to win one! They provide excellent customer service and make each competition fun and unique. I received the camera I won in a timely manner just as described. I love my Leica Q2 Reporter it is the best camera I have ever owned and all this because of Leica Hunter!!!

Comp 20 winner

I was so lucky to win one of their raffles. Leica hunter contacted me promptly and they were very helpful and patient. I managed to meet David in person to collect the prize. We had a good chat while walking in London. Awesome communication and service.
They also have a very nice online shop for used leica gear

I haven’t won anything (yet) but I sent…

I haven’t won anything (yet) but I sent an inquiry by email due to an issue with their social media. Not more than an hour later, somebody called me (Dave), and he’s been very professional and gave me a lot of advices regarding an issue I have with my current camera. It took the time to help me and he was passionate and extremely knowledgeable about Leica camera. If I ever need to buy some Leica gears I will trust them 100% and I will continue to participate at their competitions to maybe realise the dream of having a rare Leica camera. Keep the great work up.
