Advertisement Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Hi helged, Take a look here TL2 availability. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LocalHero1953 Posted August 1, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted August 1, 2017 I've been told I have to wait a few weeks after ordering today. Dealers seem to have demos, but not stock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus2000 Posted August 1, 2017 Share #3  Posted August 1, 2017 I've been told I have to wait a few weeks after ordering today. Dealers seem to have demos, but not stock.  That is exactly what I was told as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VVJ Posted August 2, 2017 Share #4 Â Posted August 2, 2017 If all goes well I should get mine on Friday. Â It was sent via FedEx today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted August 3, 2017 Share #5 Â Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Got mine back yesterday. Well, not back as such. It's a new camera, not the one I returned. Visoflex seems to cause no more problems. Â - Vikas Edited August 3, 2017 by vikasmg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted August 4, 2017 Share #6  Posted August 4, 2017 I presume unpacking loads of cameras, loading new firmware, testing them and re-packaging takes a while.  I recall a photo of the packing dept for either the SL or one of the lenses .... which seemed to consist of a single bored middle aged lady stuffing things into boxes ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted August 12, 2017 Share #8 Â Posted August 12, 2017 Possibly not a few weeks yet, but chime in if the TL2 is shipping by now... In fact it was only about a week! I've had it about a week now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samir Jahjah Posted August 13, 2017 Share #10 Â Posted August 13, 2017 Hi folks - any news/updated status regarding the availability of the TL2 after the fix? Still waiting to hear back from the D.C. Leica Store 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted August 13, 2017 Share #11 Â Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) FWIW, I don't think mine had been returned to Wetzlar, unpacked, fixed and repacked before coming to me. Leica Mayfair updated the firmware on the spot before handing it over. OTOH, it wasn't old stock in the shop - I had to wait a week after ordering.

photoray Posted August 15, 2017 Share #12 Â Posted August 15, 2017 Any idea about when U.S. dealers should be receiving new TL2 stock for sale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted August 21, 2017 Share #13  Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) UK dealers have seen nothing now since the initial batch as far as I can tell.  I gave up waiting and have got one direct from Germany ..... although at a premium as the £ exchange rate is so awful.  The usual story from Leica ..... a few to whet appetites and then weeks/months of waiting till they get round to making another lot. I had a long chat with a dealer who has been telling Leica this is a daft way to release products for nigh on 30years .... but it's the same old story. He estimates the current M10 wait is 6+months.  But ..... as with every Leica product ..... someone, somewhere will have one in stock ..... and a hour of internet searching and phone calls will get you what you want .... Edited August 21, 2017 by thighslapper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share #14 Â Posted August 23, 2017 Well, I am still waiting. I have one on order from a local dealer (I prefer to support the locals), but it looks like I have to extend the search range... Would be good to hear if/when a new batches reach your country!

thighslapper Posted August 23, 2017 Share #15  Posted August 23, 2017 A quick search of the main Leica Dealers in Germany last week found both chrome and black in stock. I didn't ask when they appeared... just grabbed one whilst I could 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshyshka Posted August 29, 2017 Share #16  Posted August 29, 2017 Mine just shipped from B&H today ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdekter Posted August 29, 2017 Share #17  Posted August 29, 2017 Mine just shipped from B&H today ...   Seems to have been a very limited quantity - I signed up for stock alerts but didn't get an email. I just purchased a silver TL2 at the Las Vegas Leica store. It was the last TL2 body in that store. None of the other Leica stores in the country are showing any stock. Nothing on Amazon, B&H or Adorama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mliu Posted August 29, 2017 Share #18 Â Posted August 29, 2017 i talked to Los Angeles Leica store last week, and they said that they made some changes, almost sounds like a hardware change, and that they would be shipping somewhere in the beginning of September again. Â He said that Leica did not want to just rely on a SW patch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
