Any news about APO-Summicron 50 delivery? At least in Europe, It seems that there isn't actually no delivery observed after a first batch March. According to my information more then 70% are shipped (if any!) outside Europe.

No reported shipments in the USA that I am aware of. A lot of folks waiting for one. I get an update from B&H every few weeks stating it is on backorder.

 

Ok thank you If I have any news I'll come back to you

I got mine end of January 2013 in the US.

 

Indeed, there was a very small shipment at the end of January, as Lou mentions. Small enough - just a handful - that even most mainstream Leica dealers did not receive a single copy.

 

A second small shipment arrived in the US in late March. That's when I picked up mine.

 

The good news is that they are least trickling in. The even better news is that the lens is worth every minute of wait...

Sorry for the redundant post from the M thread page

 

I saw one unsold in Orlando earlier this week. The dealer does not ship.

Strange they would not ship. It would be sold today:confused:

A friend of mine picked one up some days ago at a local dealer here in Trondheim, Norway.

 

He did not pre-order and it was on display.

Following the initial batch I am guessing that the next run should produce higher quantity for deliveries. The 1.4 50 asph just need to soldier on for the time being. Wonder if there are any diff between the initial batch and the subsequent. Initial batch owners may be holding on to probably a higher spec product?

I'm with Lou (algrove) and Jeff (jager) -- ordered mine on May 10th from the Leica Store in DC, received mine in January.

 

John- I told another friend to order one and he also got his from "our" store about the same time as we got ours. So I know they received three APO 50.

I'm hoping that they get any and all bugs that were in the first batch figured out so that the next will be even better! :D

Huh?? How do you figure that?
