algrove Posted January 1, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted January 1, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Last year Leica news was everywhere about the new and higher Leica prices. This year's prices have not even been posted from what I can see. It is a non-event? Â I called a Leica store and was told that only 5 or 6 items had "plus" signs next to them and most every thing was left unchanged, but could not get specifics. Â Any specifics on which items (in the USA) have increased? Or better, yet, anyone have the entire 2013 price list? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Hi algrove, Take a look here Anyone seen the new Leica 2013 price list?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Bill W Posted January 1, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted January 1, 2013 I am pretty sure there was a link in a thread here that listed the price increases. I remember that the M7 and MP had $400 price increases at least in the USA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarcRF Posted January 1, 2013 Share #3  Posted January 1, 2013 i had a quick look at my dealer. € price increases ranged from 150€ for the summarits (1450€ to 1600€) to 400/500€ for 21/24 summiluxes and noctilux.  the special thing was that chromed brass versions now cost about 150€ more than their black anodized aluminium counterparts  couldnt remember the whole list as it was really just a quick look.

darylgo Posted January 2, 2013 Share #7 Â Posted January 2, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Comparing the new price list for 2012 with current prices at B&H (Jan.1, 2013) there doesn't appear to be any increases here is the US. In 2011 there was chatter as early as August of new prices, but no mention lately. At 9000 Euro the Noctilux is $700 more than here in the US at current exchange rates.

Ecaton Posted January 3, 2013 Share #10 Â Posted January 3, 2013 As in every year, Leica increased prices for lenses in Euro. No economies of scale, no deflationary trends for material prices, no (Southern&Eastern European) economies in bad to terrible shape do exist for Leica. But they are still targeting 1% of the world's camera market I believe:cool:. Â Any information on USD prices yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted January 3, 2013 Share #11 Â Posted January 3, 2013 Eek ... the Noctilux is EUR 9,000 now? Â I have to say this keeps me awake at nights about as much as the on-the-road price for a Ferrari... Â Regards, Â Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted January 3, 2013 Share #12 Â Posted January 3, 2013 It's clear, if you think you are ever going to want a particular Leica item, buy it sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 9000 Euro = $11,762 USD but the 0.95 Noctilux lists for $10,995 at B&H. Â Could the difference in price be VAT and/or import duties? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted January 7, 2013 Share #15 Â Posted January 7, 2013 9000 Euro = $11,762 USD but the 0.95 Noctilux lists for $10,995 at B&H. Â Could the difference in price be VAT and/or import duties? Â Those Euro prices do note "inkl. 19% MwSt. zzgl." - whatever that is (VAT I presume). Â Import duties would make the lens MORE expensive in the U.S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwrangler Posted January 7, 2013 Share #16 Â Posted January 7, 2013 "inkl. 19% MwSt. zzgl." - whatever that is (VAT I presume). Â Yep. "inkl. 19% MWSt." means "including 19% VAT" Â Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted January 8, 2013 Share #17 Â Posted January 8, 2013 Actually any price increase in EUR may be less felt elsewhere due to the depressed EUR against several currencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
