2 left now. Brand new. Leica Premier Dealer.

 

 

Still very expensive. Although Frank will negotiate, it ain't much, he offered to knock £50 off - Wow!

 

Not a relative and no comission for me. It's just that some forum members seem to have difficulty finding them.

About half the difference between this price and what you could buy it for in the US (if it were available - $3900 - £1900) is the UK Government's sales tax greed and half of it is Leica UK's liking of inflated prices.

It is a lot of money but I do not think that it is over the top. Has the Wate and Finder been offered anywhere at much less. Mine was £2450 with finder and I was pleased to get it. I think that I have seen the Wate at less than £2000 but suspect that it would not have been available. After all, if there is such a high demand why would a dealer not exploit that and bundle the finder in order to get the additional sale.

I don't think anyone is criticising the dealer - after all, £2450 is presumably the Leica UK RRP. Personally, I can't get excited about a 16-21/F4 zoom lens and the cost strikes me as a little bit over the top - even by Leica standards. It's one thing paying over two grand for a Summilux but for an F4?
