Advertisement Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Hi skyblueee, Take a look here Availability of the Q2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
JimBo Posted May 29, 2019 Share #462 Posted May 29, 2019 I ordered mine from B&H on March 20, and Leica Store on March 12. Still no word from either place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexcamera Posted May 30, 2019 Share #463 Posted May 30, 2019 Good luck chaps. Heard the current order backlog is 9-12 months for new orders. Problem is people making multiple orders at different vendors. One person has 6 pre-orders just waiting for 1st delivery then cancel rest. why don’t Leica allocate to existing Leica owners first? They are known from camera registration details. i doubt I will wait for the SL2 if this is Leicas policy. Might as well buy the S1R & avoid the wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got mine from District Camera last week (think one of the two available). Lovely camera as expected! Ended up going with an Artisan & Artist silk rope strap for mine.

paul.bridges.3388 Posted May 30, 2019 Share #467 Posted May 30, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Boston Leica has received (and sold) 20 so far. They’re advising at least two months wait but wouldn’t say how many are on the waitlist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person has 6 pre-orders just waiting for 1st delivery then cancel rest. Perhaps a requirement of a small (say $100) non-refundable deposit would help. It would reduce the number of persons on multiple store waitlists and provide Leica with a more accurate estimate of pre-orders. The stores could allow customers a store credit (buy a case, Filter, accessory, etc) if the customer buys elsewhere or subsequently changes their mind. However the above presumes that Leica pays attention to market demand and cares about customer satisfaction, neither of which I am convinced of.

toutsuite Posted May 30, 2019 Share #471 Posted May 30, 2019 I don't really think multiple pre-orders are the issue. Cameras are rolling out very slowly from Wetzlar. Communication to the dealers (both Leica and third party) is poor. Those are the two issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communication to the dealers (both Leica and third party) is poor. Those are the two issues. Oh I completely agree. In my semi-sarcastic last sentence I allude to your point. Wetzlar is simply pushing out whatever amount they can produce in a given production run. In an odd way they are in an enviable position insofar that demand exceeds supply. If I drop out of the queue for the Q2 someone else will simply take my place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted June 2, 2019 Share #473 Posted June 2, 2019 There is availability, if you’re willing to travel to Germany. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2019 Share #474 Posted June 2, 2019 I got quite lucky here in the UK. Within 3 days of deciding to get a Q2 I got one. I did call all reputable retailers including 2 Leica stores and all but one told me I would have to wait up to 18 months to get one. I got it from an official Leica retailer that buyers don’t always go to as the port port of call. Perhaps that is why the had one available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen_C Posted June 2, 2019 Share #478 Posted June 2, 2019 I visited a store, let's say, in the south of the UK today to pick up a Leica Q2 "protector" case for my Q2. The person serving me volunteered that they had a waiting list of 71 for a Q2 and Leica had indicated the store would receive five Q2s per month.

There is one photoshop in Muenster that had a Q2 available for sale online on Wednesday, gone by Thursday, another one available yesterday, gone by today. I guess in the next two weeks he’ll get one more and I could easily pick it up if I wanted to. But I don’t want to. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
