Advertisement Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Hi Giulio Zanni, Take a look here Filters when?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
j. borger Posted April 7, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted April 7, 2007 That depends on the size of the filters you ordered.... 55 & 60mm are scheduled last in line (may-june) Received mine 3 weeks ago (39mm & 46mm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe D. Posted April 7, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted April 7, 2007 Does anybody know when the Leica free filters are going to be delivered? Have a look at http://www.leica-camera.us/assets/file/download.php?filename=file_2412.pdf This is the FAQ published 2 days ago. The dates when the IR filter will be available is inside. Depends on size and on color (black or chrome). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roubaix Posted April 7, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted April 7, 2007 Whoa. Does this mean a black 39 is not even on the schedule for delivery until past June? Â Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grober Posted April 7, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted April 7, 2007 The "M8 Support Team" in Germany tells me they'll receive a supply of E49 filters in week 17 with E60 filters arriving in Solms during week 20. Â When and how they determine the priority for individual filter shipments seems to be a closely-held secret. So far, they have avoided declaring a committment to ship according to the priority of one's M8 purchase or Leica-site registration. Â -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted April 7, 2007 Share #6  Posted April 7, 2007 Whoa. Does this mean a black 39 is not even on the schedule for delivery until past June? Peter No.Most that ordered 39mm, 2 of them, or with another size that is in stock have already gotten them. I BOUGHT "2" 39mm Leica UVa/IR cut filters from B&H Photovideo 2 weeks ago. I ordered a 39 and a 55 for my free filters and I am totally PISS OFF that I have to wait until BOTH are in stock before I get either. Leica should ship the sizes they have to ALL the people that invested in the M8 before they send ANY to retailers to sell. This is totally ridiculous. I want MY FREE FILTERS NOW. And if I can't have both of them NOW I want the one that IS IN STOCK NOW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Mitchell Posted April 7, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted April 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm in the same situation--waiting for the second filter. The black 39 is waiting for the silver 46 to be ready (early April, they say). I wish I'd just ordered the 46 in black. Maybe I'd have had them weeks ago.

Giulio Zanni Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share #8 Â Posted April 8, 2007 May/June? By that time, they will be almost 9 months since I paid for my M8 to when it will be fully up and running....I just hope it will not break down then, because that would be it from my side. No more money and patience. Â Giulio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber Posted April 8, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted April 8, 2007 Shootist and all, The Leica website FAQ states that single IR/UV filters will be shipped separately if other sizes ordered are delayed. Since this was just published, give them a little time to get the avaible single filters out to you. "Filter supplies have started since February 2007. The filters are being sent directly to LEICA M8 customers free of charge by Leica Camera AG. Due to the very high demand and a complex manufacturing process, it will take several weeks for some filter sizes to be shipped. Up to now, the most common sizes E39 and E46 are being shipped. Please see the table below for the start of your particular filter. We kindly ask for your understanding, if your size is not yet available. Due to these delays, we do ship single filters at this time. The not yet available filter will be shipped separately." Â Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total BS in my opinion. ALL Leica M8 buyers that ordered 39mm filters should get them way before any retailer, anywhere in the world, gets them. I'm calling Leica USA tomorrow and give them hell.

dfdann Posted April 9, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted April 9, 2007 I ordered two black 39mm filters the first week in February and have not received them. Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanJW Posted April 9, 2007 Share #15 Â Posted April 9, 2007 I have a black 39 and black 49 ordered mid January when I got my M8. So by a little more than 2 weeks I missed out on the 30% deal, and nearly 3 months later still no filters either. If I didn't love that camera so much I would be in pretty bad mood.

krimple Posted April 9, 2007 Share #16 Â Posted April 9, 2007 I ordered a black 39 and silver 43 right after receiving my camera in Feb. Haven't received either filter yet. Â I'm in a similar boat (I think I ordered two silver ones). 39 and 43. I am eagerly anticipating them. It's only been 4 months now! Â Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloec Posted April 10, 2007 Share #17 Â Posted April 10, 2007 I ordered two black 39 filters in March and I received them today with FedEx, after exactly one month... I live in Athens, Greece. Nikos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted April 11, 2007 Share #18 Â Posted April 11, 2007 Well guess who just showed up on my door step with a package. That's right the FedEx person with ONE 39mm UV/IR Leica filter. Package has a ship date of April 10, isn't today the eleventh. From Julia Kuestar Mt Logistik GmbH Henri-Duffaut-Str. 1 Wetzlar 35578 Germany DE Packing slip says Country of Manufacture Japan. Filter has Germany in silver letters, just like the two I bought from B&H. Â Well if it did ship on 10 April 07 then it came overnight from Germany. Could of been the email I sent to M8 Support about a week ago asking WHY haven't I received any of my filters BUT I can BUY them from a dealer here in the USA. Â Now all I need is the 55mm for the 24 Elmarit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 17, 2007 Share #19 Â Posted April 17, 2007 I just spoke to Leica. 39 and 46 are in stock and will be shipping this week or early next week. 55 in week 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 17, 2007 Share #20 Â Posted April 17, 2007 Actually I will be having one 55 B&W too many. I really don't need it now. If I can help anybody out with a used filter..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
