Michel told me that the Monochromes are 3000 EUROS. When Jono Slack wrote his article the M9 was EUR 2,800, the M9P EUR 3,000. I contacted Michel direct to ask about a chrome Monochrom and this was priced at EUR 3,500. I paid a little extra to have the Leica script engraved on the top plate. Michel told me there has been very strong demand, so not sure how many are left. I received an email from Michel last week saying the camera was finished and just needed the top plate script. I'm hoping it will be despatched this week! Edited November 8, 2019 by T25UFO 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljp Posted November 29, 2019 Share #144 Posted November 29, 2019 Hi, just wondering if you have received your camera and what you’re thoughts are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I received it a couple of weeks ago and have posted in the Monochrom forum. I am very pleased with the camera and with the service from Leica. Michel said it is unique - a chrome finish Monochrom and the only one Leica has produced with dark red leather covering - the colour is boysenberry on the Leica chart. Also nice to see the original Monochrom strap included and the camera had just 114 shutter actuations! This must be the nearest thing to a brand new MM1 . . . Welcome, dear visitor!

michaeljp Posted November 30, 2019 Share #146 Posted November 30, 2019 Thanks, it looks great! Just wondering if you had any type of ballpark indication of how many clicks might be on the shutter of the camera before you placed your order?

Just wondering if you had any type of ballpark indication of how many clicks might be on the shutter of the camera before you placed your order? I think Leica indicated "around 2,000" but three other contributors to this thread bought M9 and M9P with 3,000 - 4,500 clicks. Maybe the Monochrom doesn't get used as much, but 114 is just amazing. Michel told me there are no more chrome MMs left, maybe still some available in black, but I think chrome looks better when combined with some of the more unusual leathers. I am on a waiting list for the M10 Mono but don't think I will bother now - this is all I need 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchinson14 Posted January 25, 2020 Share #150 Posted January 25, 2020 I have got the payment taken the other day for my M9M so hopefully not long to go till I get my camera. It is a Monochrom with Ostrich leather and the Leica script on top, it was put on the list middle of November 2019. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roprop Posted January 25, 2020 Share #151 Posted January 25, 2020 Interesting info. My M9 was put on the list about 20 November 2019 so I hope it will be ready shortly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivi1969 Posted January 25, 2020 Share #152 Posted January 25, 2020 I think this M9 program was a success, some might took advantage to make a quick profit. I have seen a couple on eBay already for sale with asking prices from $4500 all the way to $6000! (That doesn't mean will sell of course) I will keep mine in a safe a couple of years so I can trade it for a used M10 and maybe make some money in the process 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted January 25, 2020 Share #153 Posted January 25, 2020 Notwithstanding that the programme was a success, I don't see why these cameras should be worth more on the s/h market than a carefully looked after M9 with a new-new sensor. When my sensor was replaced you were given the opportunity to have the camera serviced and recovered in a la carte leather (for a small charge). Although I opted for both, in truth I think the service part was paying for what had to be done as part of the sensor replacement anyway.

Because these cameras were demos from Leica stores around the world, never seen real field action and that is why they came with so little shutter clicks and in mint condition. In my case, I am the original owner of an M9P camera that is literally new, inside and out, with less than 3,000 clicks and with one-year warranty. I wouldn't trade it for an M240 or 262. Those are cheaper lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roprop Posted January 26, 2020 Share #155 Posted January 26, 2020 Indeed, I plan to use the M9. I already have a pristine M8 so I look forward to a “full frame M8”. With a film background I really like the rendition that the CCD sensor provides. So no speculation here. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers in the UK advertise ex-demo cameras for sale at a reduced price, as they are a cost the Dealer has to carry. What do you think Leica did with all the cameras they took in as part of the 'upgrade' programme ? Edited January 26, 2020 by pedaes 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think Leica did with all the cameras they took in as part of the 'upgrade' programme ? Indeed, this makes much more sense. They have a mountain of M9s that were traded in at hand, taking up space in Germany. Of course they would use these ones than bother with the logistical nightmare and costs involved in buying and shipping cameras from dealers around the world. The idea to refurbish and sell them really was like hitting many birds with one stone. It doesn't take any value away from them, and they were sold for a good price IMO. Whatever their history, they remain great cameras! I can sort of understand people who "invest" in lenses, but digital camera bodies?

T25UFO Posted January 26, 2020 Share #158 Posted January 26, 2020 I must have been very lucky . . . my refurbished Monochrom came with just 114 shutter actuations and was (is) absolutely mint. It would be interesting to trace the life cycle of this camera. Was it returned to Wetzlar with sensor failure after such little use? I suppose more likely it was a demo, but it's a chrome body and that version of the Monochrom was produced in such small numbers. I doubt whether there were any chrome demo MM1s lying around.

Because that is what Michel from Leica Customer Service told me. Otherwise how come a 9-year old camera could have 100 or even 1000 shutter clicks and look absolutely like new? The previous owners kept it in a safe? I bought it to use it, not for investment, but right now they hold their value better than an M240, and that’s a fact.

They are great cameras, enjoy yours. I think the M9 will continue to loose less than the others because of the CCD sensor. I will not be selling mine anytime soon though!
