50 APO In Stock

I've been on a waiting list with one of the U.S. Leica stores since just before the price increase. Four months? I'd rather wait than pay the new price. But it is mildly annoying they are showing up on the shelves of retailers with no back log while official Leica stores can't fill old orders.

I received mine in May. No. 4234....

 

Thanks,

Mine probably comes from a new batch starting by 4290...

I was so surprised to have in two days.

Production probably met now with demand and old orders are fulfilled.

Thanks all, i could not yet find a defect on mine wich i think is a kind of miracle, only thing i would much prefer a longer course of distance setting ring.

Best regards

Yes, new price unfortunately, i called and had the lens two days later.

Funny one delivered in august has a higher serial number since i thought the lens was backordered and old reservations served with new lenses coming from currenttly built batch.

Much depend on countries and importers, anyway i lack the clue and as Numbers says if the lens is fine why bother...

There are probably more around. I got a call from my local dealer that they had one and was I still interested. I told them that I had bought one from them a year and a half ago. They went to the next one on their list. I must have signed up at their website to notify me in it came in stock. I was able to get mine while at the store and just by chance they had one "in the back" that another customer decided to not take.

I think Saad is currect the 423xxxx is probably fulfilling old price, as the one I got this summer.

 

I tend to guess 423xxxx is in the zone of mixing new material and usable parts from old fare-prone returned lenses. Mine has some sign of glass-cleaning, especially the sticking fibers at the edge when new from B&H but I don't think I'm going to bother with it.
