Hi! Friends, who has repaired his "S2-P" with serious problems in the service in Germany ? Tell me, what was the price of repair? As far as I know my problem can not be solved by multiple battery charging or leaving the camera without battery for many days. My problem is 99% on the motherboard, which will most likely be replaced completely at the service. I have asked Leica several times this question of the approximate cost to replace the motherboard, but they won't tell me an approximate price. It's hard for me to send them the camera now, but I might be able to do so if I know the approximate cost of the most expensive camera repair (replacing the entire motherboard). Do you think it will be more than 1000 euros, right? If it's more expensive, I might be better off selling the camera for parts. PS The camera stopped working completely, two screens and all controls are completely disabled. However, the shutter button, exposure metering in the viewfinder and even autofocus works, but it doesn't record photos to the memory card. A warning signal flashes in the lower left corner of the viewfinder. The battery trick doesn't help, also attaching the grip (battery pack) doesn't help. Other memory cards, batteries, lenses do not help. The camera has not been exposed to rain. Careful use. A familiar repairman says that there is probably no voltage on the motherboard, that Leica will probably replace the entire motherboard. Thank you all for any possible answers.

Hallo Leica-Community, ich bin beim suchen nach einer kompakten Leica Vollformat-Kamera bei Amazon auf diese Ergebnisse im Anhang gestoßen. Sieht natürlich auf dem ersten Blick zu schön um wahr zu sein aus, weswegen ich dachte ich wende mich mal hier im Forum an euch! 2 Shops haben die Leica M Typ 262 für unter 400€ angeboten, den einem Shop habe ich angeschrieben und nach mehr Details gefragt, am selben Abend sind jetzt irgendwie alle Leica Artikel verschwunden. Mal schauen ob oder was für eine E-Mail ich bekomme.. Meine Fragen sind jetzt: 1. Glaubt ihr das man eine funktionierende Kamera bekommen würde für das Geld? 2. Seid ihr auch schonmal auf solche Angebote gestoßen oder kennt jemand der eine Kamera für soviel gekauft hat? 3. Würdet ihr bei diesem Angebot zuschlagen? 4. Was denkt ihr über das ganze? Ich freu mich schon den Kommentar „Finger Weg!“ zu lesen damit ich in einem ruhigen Gewissen einschlafen kann. Hoffe ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen! LG Chris

PRICING THOUGHTS & MARKET SIZE 10-2020 EXPANDING LEICA MARKET THROUGH PRICING ADJUSTMENTS Has Leica priced only for the super rich not the middle class or even worker-who-can-save? With M10's going USED at $4,5000 TO $5,500 most people can not afford them. Even used only the super rich can afford them. If they had sold the new M10's around $4,500, about $2,000 above the $2,500 that the Asian cameras sell for, then used the Leica would sell for $2,000 to $3,000 where many could afford them. Thus a used Leica's price would compete with new Asian camera prices. This would give Leica a double market to sell to, both new and used, and greater market penetration (more sales), and a reason to expand their repair department which is greatly needed. ECONOMIC SYSTEM PRICE POINT AND SIZE OF THE MARKET If you can sell the trade-in camera, then it is normally easier to sell a new camera, is it not? By hurting the trade-in used market with high priced used cameras, it must be harder to sell new $7,000 cameras. Since the used cameras are selling at $4,5000+ then it could only be to a few very rich people - thus used cameras compete with Leica's own new camera market. I realize it is not this simple but I am sure you get my point. Could Leica could end up like Pentax & Rollei? Leica might have a better "economic system", at a more reasonable new price and greater sales, with the accompanying better/larger repair department. The existing repair department could not fully fix my Tri-Elmar 28-35-50 lens. Is there demand at $3,500 to $4,500 new body price, for an M11? At $3,500 you would likely convert some new-camera Asian-camera buyers to new-camera Leica-camera buyers. That is about 40% more for a body than the Asian market can provide at $2,500. At $4,500+ you probably loose this convert. LOCAL SALES Probably due to this overpricing effect on both bodies and lenses, no camera store sells Leica in my home town. My town is in a CSA (combined statistical area) population of 1,096,961. Our top camera store told me years ago they could not carry a camera unless they could sell ONE a month, so they dropped Leica. Lower used prices would give camera stores something to sell profitably (selling new cameras is hardly profitable I am told) and keep them in business. TRADE-IN COMPETITION & PRICING Trade-ins are NOT reasonably priced, when they are priced above the price of new Asian cameras, cameras that frankly exceed the capabilities of any Leica. But of course the Asian cameras are a horror story of complexity to operate, so many users dislike them. Asian digital cameras remove the sense of being an artist and turn you into a technician. ALTERNATIVES & COLOR FEATURE As now priced, Leica sends me to Panasonic S1, S1-R, S1-H or better yet Nikon Z6, Z7 which has very very close to the Leica-Euro color hues when using old Leica lenses as reports show with pictures. Sadly with M10-R the Leica-Euro-Color may be lost in order to extend the dynamic range of the smaller pixel sensor? Why not give a Euro-Color Leica-Look check box in the menus to select this color saturation level and loose the one or one-half stop of brightness that is needed to achieve it? As long as the dark areas go black, and not to Noise, then it would be acceptable for many users. Please take my comments as a hope for an expanded Leica market. I also realize, that the market resolves all issues, and has a sort of fairness all its own that we must submit to. I do enjoy the economic study.

Cleaning my archives & found the legendary FoMag Second Hand Guide (distributed by the popular German magazine Foto Magazin) from exactly 20 years ago (August 2002). Adding the facsimile of the relevant pages 😉 that will surely be of interest in comparison to 2022. All prices are in euros.

can anyone tell me how much this camera cost and what is this leica model? Thank you very much

Old price: $2295 New 50mm summicron $7195 Porsche 997 Carrera $ 79, 950 Porsche 991 Carrera $ 83,050 I put in this basis of comparison because the new model has an improved engine, suspension, interior, handling which eliminates understeer etc.. (although the introduction of electric steering is terribly unfortunate). So even though the new 50mm Summicron may be improved, it should be, just as Leica has steadily improved the sharpness of its lenses with each iteration, without tripling the price each time.

Hi, I am new here in the forum since I have been infected by the M9 fever, after a quick test at my retailers store. I have an offer for two lenses both used. One, the f/2 28 Summicron apsh. is round about 6 years old Number two is about 15 years old, a f/2 50 Summicron What is each the max. price to pay for when it looks and "feels" like mint condition. Since I am not in an hurry to buy a new M9 I would like to chose my equipment with care. Please, professionals and experienced member give me advice what such lenses are worth to pay for. Thank you in advance!
