I have made some calls in Germany on Thursday, around the whole country. I was lucky: In one store an ordered camera was canceled a moment before my call - so now I'm waiting for the post man.

 

My advice: Call smaller stores in your country, having less orders than the big dealers. It is possible to get a M10, really.

For anyone looking for a Leica M10 in London. I found this black one. If it's legit seems like a good deal. Hope it helps someone!

Tempting, but looks a bit dodgy to me - the serial no has been obscured, the instruction booklet is for a 35 lux, there is no 'reply to ad' button or phone no - and why would you go to all the trouble of getting an M10 so early in the game and then sell it at a loss? It may be an uncharitable thought , but is there any way of finding out if an M10 has been stolen?

i spoke to the Leica store in LA...gentleman said they were getting in "2 or 3" each week...he said there were about 100 people ahead of me on the wait list..he said to check back in 1 month and he'd have a better idea of how deliveries are coming along.

When did you place your order?

I just spoke with an Adorama Customer Service rep about my order for a black M10, which I placed on Jan. 19th. She wasn't very helpful. She had no estimate for a shipping date. She also couldn't tell me if Adorama had received any M10s at all since my order. She couldn't even tell me how many people were ahead of me on the waiting list. The only thing she could tell me was that so far they had received a total of 42 orders for the black M10. If I had to guess, I'd say there are probably around a dozen people ahead of me on their waiting list. But that's only a guess.

This is very similar to my calls with Adorama. The only difference is that you were successful in getting them to divulge more info.

I can't believe she told you that number. Of all the things to tell you, that would be the number I would not want out if I were Leica or Adorama. I wouldn't mind telling you what place in line you were but I certainly wouldn't want to give away they had a total of 42 orders for the black M10. Thanks for posting that. Anyone have a guess on how many black M10s ordered from B&H? I would guess 3x the amount of Adorama but I have absolutely nothing to base that upon.

It seems after looking at the spreadsheet everyday that B&H is still fulfilling the first day of orders. Dang. Really wishing they would get a big shipment.

I was surprised both that she told me the number and that it was only 42. I would have assumed it was more like 100. But whatever it is it doesn't mean much if they're not getting any M10s from Leica.

Yes. 42 is amazingly low from point-of-view. Would love to know b&h's number.

Ordered last week (black M10 with Summilux 50mm and Macro Adapter) on Thursday at Leica Dubai. Got a call today that they'll receive new stocks on Saturday and I can pick it up next Sunday :)  :)  :)

 

Can you ask them why Leica Dubai doesn't ship to the US when you pick it up? I am just curious.
