Chuck Albertson Posted October 19, 2019 Share #10 Posted October 19, 2019 No, I'm reliably informed it's a performance of the newly-commissioned opera, "Der Ring des Noctilux." 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(c.f. about 40 pages of the "Vader" thread) BS. Preorder means making full payment for item before taking delivery in Leica terms without any refund. How could you have pre ordered before price list is released? How can there be a price list before a product launch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the opera in which Brunnhilde throws herself on the huge pyre of burning cash that Siegfried had to set alight for his rebadged S1R?

I did that with the Nikon Z7. Of course, I've never tried with opera glasses! Edited October 20, 2019 by bags27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get your newly launched items as fast as we who paid in full with an invoice to back, I would drop my pants to run for your pleasure.

It's a bit like using "proactive" when all you're doing is being active. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like using "proactive" when all you're doing is being active. If it is not a ‘new launch’ product, Leica will inform you when the stock is available. You only pay when you receive the goods. Preorder is only for ‘new launch’ products which there are way more demand than supply from Leica. It happened so many times when many in this forum cry for the SL75 & SL16-35 delivery, I had my unit collecting dust in my dry case cause I received them on first batch of delivery to country as I’ve paid in full earlier right after Leica released price list and accepts ‘preorder’. Therefore the relationship with Leica is ‘love/hate’ as Leica only recognises money. Kind of like dirty love. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
