I emailed Leica to see what is happening on the filters I ordered when I registered my M8 (mid-January). The filters ordered were black 39 and 49. Here is the response:

 

================================

Dear Mr. Weinschel,

because of the large demand at the moment unfortunately we cannot dispatch your filters.

As soon as they are in stock again, they will be sent. They shall be available from the 18th calendar week on.

Thanks for understanding

================================

 

By my calculation, 18th calendar week is the week of April 30.

Well about two weeks ago I sent M8 Support a nasty email saying something like.

Just how can I BUY Leica IR cut filters from a dealer in the USA, B&H, but I do not yet have the filters I was promissed when I purchased my M8. It went on to say some other things also.

Last Wednesday a FedEx guy showed up on my door step with a package that contained 1 of the promissed filters, a 39mm black. Wednes day was the 11th and the ship date said it was shipped from Germany on the 10th.

As the old saying goes. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I also received a email from Stefen Danial this morning apologizing for the delay.

Since I'm not get the other one for a while, a 55mm for the 24mm ASPH, I figured it would be a good time to send that lens off to get coded using one of my vouchers for new lens purchases.
