wda Posted January 8, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2014 Albert, judging by my experience of having one of the very first X1 cameras delivered and which I still have in almost daily use, yours is from a much later batch. But what is your concern? I presume you have checked and updated the firmware? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you both for helping me. Leica customer service emailed me that it was shipped to Leica US in June of 2012. I have since received the camera and I am ecstatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitom Posted February 26, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 26, 2014 Would be interesting from which date the X1 had included the firmware update 2, so there is no need for installing it manually. And when was manufacturing of X1 finished? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitom Posted March 2, 2014 Share #8 Posted March 2, 2014 Wow! Great link to the serial numbers! There I found that my brand new bought X1 (new from a foto shop at End of February 2014!) was one of the last Leica made. Very good to know. Maybe - just maybe - it is the reason why I think the battery compartment locker is very solid and also the knobs on the top feels more heavier to turn as I thought it was when I 1st touch the camera 3 years ago (or my remembering is wrong )? Also I think the popup flash comes out easily, but not so easy as I expected when I read the critics here in the forum. Hope the link to the serial numbers will not be erased, so I make a "paste and copy" from there: Leica X-1 Serial Numbers (from: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/X1 ) Serial numbers compiled from known X-1 cameras SN Start SN End Product Year Total -3011617 unknown Leica X-1 (gray) 2010 unknown -3811501 3815135- Leica X-1 (gray) 2010 3,635+ -3811629 3811985- Leica X-1 (black) 2011 unknown -3813584 3830269- Leica X-1 (gray) 2011 16,686+ -3832315 3838250- Leica X-1 (black) 2011 5,936+ -3831274 3831709- Leica X-1 (gray) 2011 436+ -3832053 3832380- Leica X-1 (RJ) 2011 327+ -3832460 unknown- Leica X-1 (black) 2011 unknown -3842494 3844283- Leica X-1 (gray) 2011 1,790+ -3985016 3996997- Leica X-1 (gray) 2011 11,982+ -3989393 3999246- Leica X-1 (black+gray) 2012 9,854+ TOTAL ASSIGNED SERIAL NUMBERS 2010-2013 unknown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
