c6gowin Posted February 20, 2010 Share #61 Posted February 20, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is good news. However, I would be surprised if the 35mm has already been shipped to Leica USA because the 180mm hadn't made it to the US as of earlier this week. It may not too much of a stretch to believe that both the 35mm and 180mm are in transit or already here at Leica US soon to be out to dealers. Leica knows they can't get any serious traction in the pro market without a basic lens line-up so I am sure they are working hard to that end. Now, as Marc mentioned, the addition of the 35 will constitute a base system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expected, the 180 will be coming in the next week or two. The 35 and 120 lenses, along with the Mulit-Function Handgrip and dual battery Pro Charger will be coming in April. All of these lenses will be non-CS versions, with CS lenses to follow (don't have exact delivery dates for those yet). David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogopix Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share #64 Posted February 22, 2010 may be a german manufacturing syndrome; I remember the first year MB offered cruise control (early 70's?) it wasn't release till the end of the model year and was retrofit... for free of course!

c6gowin Posted February 23, 2010 Share #65 Posted February 23, 2010 So much for my snaky forked tongued lying birdie! Let's see ... "April" in Leica time means what ... October? : -) Marc, in this case April may really mean April 2010 since, as I recall, Leica's first announced availability of the S2 and 4 lens rollout would have them all available by end of 2009. Heck, April is just around the corner - it will be here before I get the money together for the lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
