I was able to get a new 135 f3.4 last week. It had to go back to Leica for coding:mad: You would think they would just build them coded. It appears several dealers have them right now. Leica must have built their allotment for the years.

 

The Noctilux is available as well at several dealers. If you are looking and need a source, let me know.

 

The 50 APO Summicron is still missing in action:mad:

Are u sure its a new lens and not old stock?

 

You can check with the serial number. New lenses after the introduction of the M8 (6 bit coding) should be 4 034 900 (end of 2006) or later.

The 135/3.4 is a special case. Leica only started coding them recently.

The serial # is 418xxxx. It came from Leica NJ last week. I had been waiting for one for a couple of months. For some strange reason they do not appear to be coding them unless you send it back and they do it for free.
