They don't produce a constant dribble of each but run batches of anywhere between a few hundred and a few thousand or so and rotate between products. As a result there can be months between production runs and longish fallow periods between, although with increased capacity at the new Wetzlar factory I get the impression things have speeded up a fair bit. Whatever, It will be worth the wait .... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SL2 is supposed to be in the store tomorrow. Scott, thanks. I was speaking of the downtown Leica store. The airport store  had no SL2s  and the prices are quite high there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And #2 on the list doesn't fancy a spare! 🙂 First time doing a Leica pre-order (I have done Fujifilm ones before, but I think the production capacity is a little different) In fact it is my first time buying a Leica camera brand new, all three previous have been pre-loved. Cheers, John Yup that was me - like others I also use the excellent S1R and so did not need a second SL2 body so passed this one on. Hope you get lucky and are next on the list. Its worth the wait!

jrp Posted November 29, 2019 Share #165  Posted November 29, 2019 Mine came through to the UK on Tuesday, after being expected last Thu. One strategic decision that they should have taken is to ditch the Nissan flashes and go Pany/Olympus compatible. I can’t imagine that they sell many flashes at the prices that they charge and having access to Godox and other flash systems would be a major extension of the capabilities of the system. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixedwheel Posted December 4, 2019 Share #174  Posted December 4, 2019 Mine turned up yesterday, but didn't even open the package until this morning. Lovely feeling cutting the tape on the outer Leica package. Screen protectors fitted, new Rock&Roll strap threaded on, logos taped up, 2 SD cards slid into place. Have popped the M Adapter L on, and my 35mm Summarit f2.4 Just waiting for the battery to charge. COME ON!!!! 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but that's what I was told me the other day. One was with the 24-90 and the other was with the 50, I think. They were surprised when I mentioned the tariffs, but confirmed that that was the reason. Edited December 5, 2019 by wellfleet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with them on Monday so maybe it's gone. I think it was a 50, if not, then a 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
