pulliam5555 Posted September 17, 2015 Share #381 Posted September 17, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yea, it has been a month for me and still waiting. I ordered from the Tokyo Ginza store, and they are still telling me 2-3 months. Crazy, I know it's worth it, but.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matlep Posted September 17, 2015 Share #382 Posted September 17, 2015 My local dealer says December for orders placed now. But no guarantees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERICSSON Posted September 17, 2015 Share #383 Posted September 17, 2015 My dealer in Sweden has no info to give other than "Scandinavia seems not to be a priority", placed my order on 4 September. Maybe a decent Christmas gift to myself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffu Posted September 18, 2015 Share #384 Posted September 18, 2015 Yeah, seems like they are at least starting to trickle in - I got a call from NY Leica and received mine yesterday! 10 minutes later I also got a call from a camera store in Texas, my name had come to the top of their list too - so I made someone happy and told them to move on....

katsanes Posted September 18, 2015 Share #386 Posted September 18, 2015 I received a call today from Palm Beach store in Florida so one might try them. Thanks for the tip- I called them and they said they have a short list, so I put myself on it while I was at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar888 Posted September 19, 2015 Share #388 Posted September 19, 2015 What is your guess when we will see the current trickle of Leica Q's in the USA develop into meaningful availability? My personal guess is mid-December to January 2016. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted September 19, 2015 Share #389 Posted September 19, 2015 What is the point of guessing? There are no prizes for being correct. If you are looking to make a purchase, there is already a thread about availability, (it's named Leica Q availability), and there have been useful and informative posts in that forum with clear pointers towards dealers holding or expecting stock.

CharlesL Posted September 20, 2015 Share #390 Posted September 20, 2015 I dropped by Discount Camera in San Francisco on Sept. 19. Displaying an authorized dealer certificate on the wall, they have the other current Leica cameras and a good selection of Leica lenses in stock. The counter person said the store ordered six Q's from Leica, were allotted one, and had a long waiting list. He was in awe that a US$4,000 camera was so hot on the market. I also got to play with a Leica Q at the Leica Store in the city. I presume they could sell the demo, but I did not ask about their stock, instead telling them candidly that I was not going to buy the 28mm Q but was interested in a 50mm Q or an interchangeable lens Q. They had no details except to say that new product, maybe Q maybe not Q, will be announced late October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any news, is important news. Right now, we are all in the dark. B & H and Amazon have had the same number of reviews for the past thirty days. That basically indicates, to me, that the distribution of the Q to the large retail outlets have come to a grinding halt. Otherwise, based on history of new photographic equipment, people would post their reviews online. Although I am not in a critical rush because I have other photographic equipment, it certainly would be appreciated to have a minimal amount of news and visibility when one considers the Q was released in June. Just saying.....,,, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juchelka Posted September 20, 2015 Share #392 Posted September 20, 2015 FYI, received a shipment notice from B&H today. Ordered on 6/12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturkel Posted September 21, 2015 Share #393 Posted September 21, 2015 Just as an FYI I am on 10 different lists as of July 10, and to date not one call. I lucked out and bought a 1 week old camera from someone. If you are interested I may buy 1 or 2 when I do get a call and sell for no extra charge here on the site. I know how frustrating it is waiting months on end. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
