AbbeyFoto Posted May 31, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted May 31, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) A good while ago I placed an order with my local Leica dealer for a new 35mm f1.4. Who do you have to be to have the privilege to pay Leica a small fortune to get a copy of this lens - some oil Sheik? I have contacted several UK supplies and they seem to take delight in laughing - you want what??? "I can't remember when we last saw a 75mm f2 apo - same for the 90mm!". Price in the loft and waiting lists with no predictable end - I hope Leica are aware how we fans get upset (profundity deleted) with their inability to deliver and yet continually "promise" this and that wonder. I wish they would focus on delivery to their loyal customers what they promise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedaes Posted May 31, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted May 31, 2012 Wait times are well known and frequently discussed here. My recent experience is they suddenly turn up - the Dealers don't seem to know they are coming. i waited about 6 months for 35 1.4 and recently got a 90 after about 7 months. There has been talk that more 35 and 50 "lux's are around, so hopefully you will get a call soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpalme Posted June 1, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted June 1, 2012 I wasted a lot of time with Cooters camera in Dallas last year. Waited 6 months with almost no feedback of where I was on the list. They went out of business. Someone here referred me to popflash and they were awesome. I got updates every time they received a lens to let me know I moved up the list. So basically every dealer is like night and day. BTW popflash requires a deposit so there is risk in that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
