jcbjr Posted December 27, 2006 Share #3  Posted December 27, 2006 bill- have you tried leica boutique in montreal? i got some 486 filters shipped overnight from there and jean seems to stock a good amount of accessories, so might be worth a try.  Leica Boutique - Best choice for leica products in Canada  and he's a very nice guy.  john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I call has them on order.  One dealer I spoke with says that the reps for *all* the camera companies treat the dealers poorly, that dealers get no information, and that the N---n's of the world ship first to BestBuy.  Thanks for the suggestion. I spoke to a very nice person in Montreal and she has a charming accent. I told her you sent me.  Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted December 27, 2006 Share #5 Â Posted December 27, 2006 The batteries seem to be like London buses. I waited a few weeks during November for one (Len at RG Lewis managed to get one in the end) and then another turned up shortly after (my M8 dealer called me the same week to ask if I still needed one). Â If you haven't tried Tony Rose at Popflash, I'd suggest doing so. He managed to get me an accessory grip for my M8 in super-efficient time when Leica UK and various UK dealers could only shrug their shoulders and talk about delivery "at some point in December". If I needed a battery quickly he'd be my first port of call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaM8freak Posted December 27, 2006 Share #6 Â Posted December 27, 2006 if still needed, I ordered my spare battery, and handgrip (black) with shphoto.de received both a cpl of weeks ago. (only no camera to put them on/in, that is in Germany for its refurbishment) best of luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share #7 Â Posted December 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ian, I just spoke with Tony Rose and told him you told me to call him. He raves about his Leica rep. However, he still has batteries that are on backorder. Â Thanks for the suggestion. Â Regards to all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
