Guest Posted June 20, 2019 Share #1  Posted June 20, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm based in the UK and on the lookout for a used TL2 in the EU (no import tax). Does anyone have any suggestions? I've checked out the main UK sites and the best price I've found is £1159 for a mint example, does that sound like good value? I've seen they are priced from £1495 new so I'd be hoping to pay under 1k. Any input appreciated. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted June 20, 2019 Share #2 Â Posted June 20, 2019 Or Best Leica dealer in the UK?. Leica Manchester has a good record and often lists the body you seek. Try also Leica UK in London and Red Dot Cameras who also sell traded in and ex-display items. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted June 20, 2019 Share #3 Â Posted June 20, 2019 I got a used TL2 last autumn from the Leica Shop in Vienna. It was a similar price to what you have found, also effectively mint. The only thing missing was the strap lug blanks, and Leica sent me those for free. I've bought from them before, both direct and via the Westlicht auction, and found their descriptions very reliable.

I was referring to import duties on top of delivery costs to the UK, which makes ordering from the US etc. very expensive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
