tbarker13 Posted December 29, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) This just came into my email box: Dear LEICA M8 Customer, In our haste to respond as quickly as possible to LEICA M8 owners regarding our CEO's lens offer, we might have mistakenly sent an incorrect version of the price list to some customers. 1. We prepared two versions of the price list - one for countries that implemented a Value-Added Tax such as the EU and Canada, and one for countries that do not have a Value-Added Tax structure. 2. Also the price of the LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50 mm f/1 was wrong in both price lists. 3. The prices both price lists represent the complete price that the M8 owner pays to Leica - that means all applicable customs duties, VAT (where applicable) as well as shipping and customs clearing costs. In the very near future, you will receive the correct price list for the country you live in, and the prices will reflect a price approximately 30% lower than the average Suggested Retail Price of these Leica products worldwide. We again apologize. Kind regards LEICA M8 Support Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoin Posted December 29, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2006 I just got the same email, This should calm things down a little ;) Dear LEICA M8 Customer, In our haste to respond as quickly as possible to LEICA M8 owners regarding our CEO's lens offer, we might have mistakenly sent an incorrect version of the price list to some customers. 1.

wattsy Posted December 29, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 29, 2006 I've just had the same email (twice for some reason). It's good that Leica respond to their errors but each time they do it they look increasingly incompetent. Personally, I think they should be doing things a little less on the hoof and perhaps take a month to devise a proper strategy to address current issues and then take the M8 forward.

Eoin Posted December 29, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2006 Got the email twice as well, perhaps just to re-inforce the message? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
