About Summimarket
A curated auction platform for exceptional camera equipment. We connect creatives, collectors, and enthusiasts with their next camera.
Made in California
Summimarket began as a newsletter sharing great deals and unique Leica cameras in 2024. When researching the market, a problem became clear: buying and selling online is fundamentally broken. In 2025, Summimarket introduced auctions with a single purpose: making buying and selling Leica cameras an easy and fun process, creating connections between creatives, collectors, and enthusiasts.
