Fotomiguel Posted January 28, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm waiting for the 28 f2.8 elmar about three months. What's happening? Are there problems in Solm to make lenses or perhaps the demand is too strong after the M8 success. Are they keeping the lenses for the 30% offer by Leica? I'm going to buy the 75 f2 cron with my 30%. But I need the 28 firstly. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Flatline Posted January 28, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 28, 2007 Hmm... not sure. I walked into the store, and bought one. Maybe I just got lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 28, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 28, 2007 I did not wait personally. Bought mine at SH photo in Germany. Looks like they still have one here: Leica - M Lens 2,8/28mm ASPH. Elmarit-M NEW! 11606 with EU warranty - SH photo FWIW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richam Posted January 28, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2007 I had to wait about 3 months to get mine from Vuelux about a year ago. I believe it's a production priority problem for a slow moving item. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
george + Posted January 28, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 28, 2007 I ordered one in November. Still waiting. Was told it may be 2008. As a matter of fact I am not sure I want it any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotomiguel Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted January 28, 2007 I did not wait personally. Bought mine at SH photo in Germany. Looks like they still have one here:Leica - M Lens*2,8/28mm ASPH. Elmarit-M NEW! 11606 with EU warranty - SH photo FWIW Thanks but I have to buy it to my dealer. He is a good guy. He lend me lenses while I'm waiting. The problem is I have 35mm and 50mm. The 50mm is mine. I need wider than 35mm. Thank you very much anyway!

Guest Olof Posted January 28, 2007 Share #8 Posted January 28, 2007 it seem to me, that this problem occurs to your dealer and not Leica. If i only would i could get a 2,8 28 lens... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 28, 2007 Share #9 Posted January 28, 2007 ...I need wider than 35mm... The Summicron 28/2 is more expensive but it's an outstanding lens indeed. A bit less contrasty than the 28/2.8 asph with a smoother bokeh and more speed of course. One of the very best Leica lenses ever IMHO... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
c6gowin Posted January 28, 2007 Share #10 Posted January 28, 2007 I guess I was lucky to get one when I picked up my M8 in early November. At this time, I was new to Leica and the relatively low price of this lens was important. A few months later, I am now fully hooked on Leica glass and looking for a deal on the 28 Summicron. I have some time to find one since my M8 is back at Solms for the Fix. Gowin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
