I have absolutely no personal interest in this - but simply thought people here might like to know... I was in RG Lewis in London to drop off my M9 with the RF problem and noticed that they have a 3 month old black M9 for sale at £4000 + a range of lenses (WATE, 35 cron / 50 lux + maybe something else) - all for excellent prices. It's the first used M9 they've had - so the market is just starting.

 

If you've not been able to get a body I'd strongly recommend looking at this (Passport also still active).

 

Best of luck...

Is this website still under construction?

No items are listed on their used page.

Nor are there any prices stated in the new Leica lens pages.

 

Seems a little strange for London's "oldest leica specialist".

I'm afraid their website is not their strongest point. They are a very old and well established Leica dealer and offer excellent service. They tend to deal with people on a personal basis and it's always best to phone them to discuss what you need. . The proprietor Len Lyons has a knack for obtaining those difficult and short supply items.

When I asked one of Len's colleagues about the likelihood of getting a new 35 Summilux without a long wait, he thought 'it shouldn't be a problem'. Ivor at Red Dot laughs about his present back-orders which he thinks will run well into 2011 .

Hi - agreed that the website isn't up to anything , but the kit was definitely there at that price. Can't remember if there was a 35 lux - I think not.

Rang up this morning but the 50mm Lux had gone - thanks for the heads up though - really useful when people help out like this.

sorry about that

 

For those who are out looking for second hand M stuff, it's worth remembering that not all the dealers either have great websites or update them regularly. I'd recommend ringing around a few key dealers in your region once every couple of weeks if you're seriously looking for something. It's surprising what you can turn up.

And Thanks to Chris as well, that was a much welcome initiative !
