Paulus Posted December 24, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted December 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm still waiting for my ordered super -elmar 21mm for a while. Not that I am getting impatient, but I wondered if the reissuing has already came to a stop? Has anyone in Europe actually bought the new version op the s-e already, or are we all waiting? Â The selling of new 21mm Leica lenses in Germany and the Netherlands IMHO came to a stop? Does anyone of you know if I'm right? Where are all those produced lenses going to? America ? China? Are they sold faster than they are produced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Hi Paulus, Take a look here Just wondering how many of you in Europe buy the new s-e 21mm ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
esophoria Posted December 24, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted December 24, 2011 Not to cause you any more dismay. I just got my 21mm/f3.4 Super Elmar M this week-- here in California-- United States. I also purchased Leica's 21mm Bright Finder along with it. The dealer had that in stock already. Â I had my lens on order for about 4 weeks. Â The optics and the ultimate shots it takes are truly terrific. Â Hope you get yours soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted December 24, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted December 24, 2011 OP suggest you call around since there are many to be had in the US. That's how I got one within 2 weeks. Â I am en route to Europe as we speak and I have already been offered one, if wanted, upon arrival.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted December 25, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted December 25, 2011 I got mine two weeks ago, in Belgium. Terrific little lens! They have been around here for a couple of weeks. ------------ Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

algrove Posted January 3, 2012 Share #10 Â Posted January 3, 2012 So Paulus, did you get an SEM21, 18 or still waiting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted January 3, 2012 Share #11 Â Posted January 3, 2012 I got the phone call about four weeks ago saying mine was in the dealers hands. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on viewpoint, I had already opted for something else in the 21mm category many months ago after the initial order was grabbed back straight out of my hands by Leica. I'm happy it worked out that way in retrospect, it saved a lot of money. Â Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share #12 Â Posted January 5, 2012 So Paulus, did you get an SEM21, 18 or still waiting? Â Still, with patience , waiting for the SEM21. I'll let you know when it arrives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

egrossman Posted January 12, 2012 Share #14 Â Posted January 12, 2012 I've been looking for a wide angle lense and after reading all of these positive reviews of the new 21mm Super-Elmar I joined the waiting list at Dale Photo a few days ago. Like most Leica glass it doesn't appear to be in stock anywhere in the US. Oh well... I hope it doesn't take too long. Â It certainly isn't as easy to procure as implied by algrove.

jneilt Posted January 12, 2012 Share #15 Â Posted January 12, 2012 I've had mine for about a month. It was on the shelf for about 3 weeks.
