k-hawinkler Posted February 28, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted February 28, 2013 My M will ship to me tomorrow, but no R adapter yet. Â Congratulations! When you have it, which Firmware version comes with it? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuckley Posted February 28, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted February 28, 2013 Lou - I got the happy phone call, too. Will arrive Saturday. No accessories available at this time. But yay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koala54 Posted February 28, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted February 28, 2013 Now, this is absolutely exciting news. Probably the first M in USA! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuckley Posted February 28, 2013 Share #6 Â Posted February 28, 2013 Which means, by the way, without the EVF, etc. it will be the M in classic mode :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share #7 Â Posted February 28, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I already got the Olympus EVF for like $165. I have an R to M adapter from Novoflex so I can "exist" until more accessories arrive. Â Got it from the Washington, DC Leica Store. Ordered it from the Manager while in the Leica Booth at Photokina at 10am Euro time on 18 September. They would not accept pre-orders until it was officially announced. Â The baby is born, early, but we hope not premature. The Leica doctors will make it a healthy one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

algrove Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share #11 Â Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) So on another forum, comparisons where discussed. Some obvious and some not. Â M versus M9 Â M versus MM Â M versus RX-1- it's coming next week too. Inevitable comparison. Â M versus 5D3 Â M versus P45+ Â When will I have time to just do some good ole' shooting. Â Frankly, I am getting anxious to use my R lenses even though the Leica adapter is not out yet. Who cares as I have a Novoflex R to M adapter and got an Olympus EVF for $169 so I am ready to go. I might even enjoy using the Leica 500 mirror or my 280 with a 2x extender and yes, Jaap, even my 105-280.

wlaidlaw Posted March 1, 2013 Share #16 Â Posted March 1, 2013 Total silence from Scotland and I notice that Ffordes are not on the list of UK Leica dealers with stock. I hope I have not made the wrong decision for patriotic reasons. Â Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted March 1, 2013 Share #17 Â Posted March 1, 2013 RG Lewis - apparently the oldest Leica dealer in London (not Len that is!) - have a black M demo model in stock and should be having stock to sell "very soon". All pre-ordered though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted March 1, 2013 Share #18 Â Posted March 1, 2013 Surprise surprise - there is NOT a new M on eBay at a marked up price yet (that I can find) but I would not be astonished to see one by early next week. Â Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
