Not even Riesel has one. I havent phoned Adeal (importer) to see if there are any actually in the country but both Camera Lane and Camera Exchange sold their last at the end of last financial or thereabouts when all the demonstrators were cleared out. Everyone has a few spare M7. If yours wasnt the last, it would have been one of the last ones.

Alan, This thread is coming up on 2 years (11/07/06) and still going strong. So far I've resisted the urge to find an MP but it's been a close thing. 2 M7s and 2 M8s and I'm still finding myself drooling over some of these pictures of MPs. Hey, I told my wife that I may be married but I can still look at the menu! The MP is just a menu item....for now! Good job, buddy!

Hi Steve

 

Yes, the MP evokes a passionate following

 

:)

 

Mike Richards was up here last week and we shot the new library downtown

 

Let me know when you're ready to go out and burn up some film with your new MP!!!

 

:D

Sorry to hear. I also heard from my dealer (druggy allusion intended;) ) here in Perth, that currently there are no new Summilux 50 ASPHs in the country either.

Given the relatively low volume of sales and Solms being extremely busy with ramping up on their new products, I wonder if they're possibly moving toward an a la carte-only model for selling new MPs.

 

Makes one wonder...

Yep. Aint none in Aus. Showing discontinued with the importer, its a la carte.

 

That's my understanding, too; but I keep seeing MP's for sale online at the US dealers (including Amazon) so I wonder if maybe Leica is taking orders in bulk but not building them on spec anymore....

 

:confused:

I bought one (new) before summer, but it took almost 2 months to get it from Leica. My dealer here tells me is still available (upon order) in the regular flavor, not "A la carte". For now, at least... :D

Here is mine. Silver, with a black paint Summilux pre-ASPH. I kind of like the mix. And the photos it takes, they are actually not too bad :)

P.S. Take a look at the serial number of the lens. I wonder who has the next one!

I like the convenience of automatic but still prefer manual for the driving experience
