Bob Andersson Posted April 18, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leica store UK are, as I type, currently offering the SL (Typ 601) Kit with Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH for £6950, tax included - link. Using a price comparison site the cheapest I can buy the camera, 50mm f/1.4 lens and included cable release for separately in the UK is £8435. A similar story with the 24-90. Have I been living under a rock or is this deep discounting unusual? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalHeMan Posted April 18, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Check the body only price on Red Dot..... currently cheaper than many of the second hand bodies he is selling... Would suggest the SL2 announcement is imminent... Edited April 18, 2019 by DigitalHeMan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmarton1 Posted April 18, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2019 It’s because they are going to release the SL2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted April 18, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) New SL for £3195, wow, at its price heyday new SL was close to 6 grand. Sobering lesson in digital camera obsolescence. Last month I part exchanged my SL for Z7. It was bought S/H for £4000, 2 years later i got 2200 for it. Edited April 18, 2019 by mmradman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Andersson Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted April 19, 2019 While I'd love to believe these prices are because the SL2 is imminent it may be no coincidence that the two lenses in the bundles match the recently released lenses from Panasonic for the S1/S1R: this may be a reaction to sales of the SL being hit hard by those two cameras. If I weren't a glass half full kind of guy I could even extend that line of thought to wonder if Leica is seriously considering whether it can recoup its costs if it does release an SL2 anytime soon! 😟 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
