Hi everyone,

 

I've been waiting to update my M9-P for quite a long time now and was delighted by the release of the new M-P (yes I know "delighted" is a strong word, I'm a bit over excited).

 

I was planning to switch to a chrome body but it seems to be back-ordered everywhere. Do you know if someone has one and if not, when it would arrive in the US?

 

Thanks a lot for your help.

Can't help in the US .... but here in the UK they are freely available .... part exchanged my old M9+M9P this morning from stock that appeared last week and was put aside for me.

 

I don't think you will be waiting long .....

Classic Connection appears to have one in stock. Ask for Sam Shoshan and tell him I sent you.

B&H web site shows it in stock.

 

Shouldn't be too hard to locate with phone calls to other dealers listed on Leica site.

They stock black but no chrome.

I thought it showed differently when I first checked.

 

I've never had problems finding gear, even when in short supply, by diligently making dealer calls, especially to smaller but still well regarded dealers. But I'm not a frequent camera/lens shopper.

David, those links are for the M, not the M-P….but I do see the site shows the silver M-P as out of stock.

 

I checked your other store, Dale Photo, before posting but I didn't see the M-P, and it listed the M in both finishes as out of stock. Otherwise I would have directed the OP.

I'm sorry. My mistake.

 

We have the black M-P 240 in stock but have only received a very, very small number of silver cameras to date.

 

Hopefully, we will see more in the coming weeks as Leica ramps up silver M-P 240 production.

Thanks for your help. I'll try Sam and see if he can help me.

Thank you all for your replies.

 

The scarcity of the silver model gave me ample time to think about my options; I am not sure I'll upgrade my M9P to an MP anymore. I've made a few tests with a M240 and M9P to compare color rendering and I am not convinced... So I might get the M-A instead. Or a Hassy 503...
