MirekE Posted June 10, 2013 Share #101 Posted June 10, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I apologise for making a remark that has caused offence - but it was made with 'tongue in cheek' hence the . However, it's a fact that it is possible to fast track a new or ex demo Leica if you go the extra mile to do so. I cancelled my M240 order last November after paying the deposit. I know that someone else would have benefitted from receiving that camera especially if he had the foresight to enquire with the dealer ... as happened when another forum member could not obtain an M240 from his regular dealer. Maybe he was allocated the camera I cancelled? My dealer actually told me that he knows his customers place orders with other dealers - and they cancel orders with him if those other dealers receive allocations prior to him. I cancelled my M240 order because my dental implant treatment estimate was higher than anticipated. I hope your order is fulfilled soon. Best wishes dunk Thank you. I have seen several comments recently where people think that this is just impatience and that we should learn to be more patient. But it is more complicated than that. For example, some of us are burning trough warranty period on lenses, batteries and other equipment that is laying around and waiting. My apologies to Jono for taking a small detour!

thighslapper Posted June 10, 2013 Share #102 Posted June 10, 2013 That brings up a question. I remember having read in one of these threads that Jaap a few weeks ago ordered an M from a larger dealer and he also indicated he will get the M very soon. How come this is possible but others like you and me have to wait very long, in my case since September 19? If I misunderstood the facts I apologize! Simple maths .... see my post here .... http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m9-forum/275342-m-240-deliveries-45.html#post2420067 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted June 10, 2013 Share #103 Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks. But I think Jaap's explanation is more relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo.Battista Posted June 10, 2013 Share #104 Posted June 10, 2013 Are we really off topic, aren't we? Let's talk about Jono's samples. The AA filter seems quite strong (similar to X2). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted June 11, 2013 Share #105 Posted June 11, 2013 Perhaps this thread should go across to the X1/X2 forum as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hart Posted June 12, 2013 Share #106 Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for the images. My local dealer had one on display today (and some in stock apparently). It feels very well made. The lens is really very large in relation to the body. And within 10 seconds I had accidentally activated the menu twice because my right palm seemed to rest on the big silver control doo-dah on the back.
