Ok all you doubters! BH just sent me shipping notification of my silver M10! I'll have it in my hands tomorrow if all works out.

 

 

You just pumped a big bunch of excitement back into this thread.  :)  Great news and congratulations. I ordered on the 20th. Should be interesting to see how long it takes them to get to the 20th. At least I know I ordered very early in the morning of the 20th. :wub:

I called B&H for the sanity of this thread regarding my order (Black M10). :ph34r:  I was told Leica is telling them another shipment is expected around the first of March but they explicitly stated they just don't know. It was implied but not stated, in a sincere form, they were in the dark as well.

I was also told the same at my last inquiry. They said there will be a shipment arriving on March 3rd. I placed my black m10 order at noon on Jan 18th.

I ordered a few days ago and set my expectations for summer delivery with no input from the dealer, I just guessed. In the mean time, I'll keep shooting with my current stuff and this will give time for any issues to be uncovered and addressed with the M10.

Leica Miami said I might have to wait as long as six months after pre-ordering at the end of February.  Time that can be spent wringing out some more stuff from the M9, which will be retained as a backup.

 

Some of the European dealers might have shorter waiting lists than that, if you want to try to get one sooner.

I'm really surprised Leica didn't make some sort of arrangement with you, and perhaps two or three others, Jono, in consideration of the work you put into illuminating these launches.  Putting you at the front of the queue would be the least they could do!

 

Don't worry Jager - I still have a test camera as a hostage - no sympathy required!

I order the M10 from Vistek (Toronto) on January 23rd and was third on their list.  They called today to inform me that Leica informed them delivery would be the end of April.  Not sure if that is approximate or reasonably firm.

I would like to wait on Leica Miami since I have ordered from them in the past.  And like Eesand pointed out, it gives Leica more time to address any bugs or issues.  It does make me wonder if I am waiting that long, if the a la carte option will come into play by then so that I could specify the top plate engraving.

Booked on the spreadsheet - I received my SILVER M10 today, Feb. 25. Was expected to be in the March batch for the US, so better than predicted by my rep by at least a week. AFAIK, one of only two ordered and delivered via the shop (Englewood Camera. Littleton, CO).

 

Will be "developing" my first pix after dinner (love the car-charging option!)
