Leica IR Filter Distribution - Update

This is just a brief note that might be informative to those who, like me, are still waiting for their free filters from Leica.

 

Despite having registered my M8 with Leica on February 7 I've still not received either the 46mm or the 55mm filters I ordered. So earlier this week I sent an inquiry to Leica (M8.support@leica-camera.com) and received the following reply (within 12 hours, I might add!). Perhaps others here will find it informative or encouraging.

 

 

Dear Mr. Tanaka,

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 should be available in two weeks.

Thanks for understanding.

 

Kind regards

Ken,

 

Thanks for posting your reply from Leica. I was poised to fire off an email of my own, but your post answered my questions, so why bother?

 

I have an order for these same filters and registered 5 days before you. There is no sign of them yet in New York as well. I suppose 2 more weeks will seem like nothing in the course of a near half-year wait!

 

I fear an anticlimax when they finally do arrive and replace my B&W IR cuts. I will, however, avoid swapping filters on lens changes in the future which will be nice...

 

-Fred
