Have been looking for a while on this forum and this is my first post :)

I placed my X1 order at the beginning of September 2009 to my preferred Leica dealer, Meister Camera in Berlin. Yesterday they had no information about delivery :::mad:

Am I with the wrong dealer??

Presumably you have dealt with your chosen dealer in the past and know about their reputation. Dealers in the UK appear to be receiving a demonstration copy of the X1 which is available for prospective customers to view and try this week. Even they lack firm delivery forecasts but one believes stock will filter through during the next week or two. I am sure Germany must be well placed in the queue. Why not contact Solms?

Well, it's Feb on Monday...

 

At Mayfair last Saturday, they had a 90% fw model to play with

 

Last Thursday, my dealer in Manchester at a fw 1.0 model to play with. With deliveries within 10 days.

 

If you're waiting for one, it sounds like the wait is almost over.

It's Jan on Sunday, you must be using an old calendar mate. I was playing with that model at Leica Mayfair back in October, they said it was a 'prototype'. It felt odd - like not complete. They do seem a bit shy in that place tho.

Hello.I'm new to the forum,but have been checking it out for a while now.I was wondering if someone could tell me when the X1 is likely to ship to the Netherlands.I've asked a local dealer and also Leica via email,but no reply.Maybe someone in NL already has an X1 who can tell me where he got it?I haven't got a pre-order if that makes any difference.I've sold my whole Canon gear three months ago so i could buy the X1,but have been waiting eversince.(like everyone else on this forum)

 

Greetings M@rtinT

Where in Finland would that be? Did you buy it or is it still availiable somewhere? :)

 

Actually I bought it from Leica Shop Austria http://www.leicashop.com/ and had it shipped here. Camera is located nowadays in Vantaa.

 

Logic108: Rajala said that they get them at the end of the month earliest. I will post pictures as soon as I have something that I can post. First test shots to learn to use the camera, but so far the noise is amazing, lack of it I mean.

Just learned from Popflash (USA) that they will likely be getting only ten X1's the second or third week of February. I'm number 20 on that list :mad:

 

Their terms for ordering are fair but restrictive. You can cancel but your $500. deposit must go toward a Leica product. Sorry I didn't sign up elsewhere. Oh well, my wait just got even longer.

Not likely it will make you feel any better but I'm number 19 at PopFlash.

I don't think ordering elsewhere would have helped. Deciding earlier definitely would have!

I just wrote Alex to find out if they had any clues re when the second shipment is likely. I'll let you know if I hear anything...

That seems ridiculous to me. You can't get a refund on a deposit you made on an unreleased device without penalty - what? Thanks for the info, I know not to shop with them on preorder at the very least!
