Advertisement Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Hi John Smith, Take a look here SL2 Availability. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
RonnieW Posted March 28, 2020 Share #342 Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks, John! After completing my order payment, they said it went through successfully. Their website changed right after that, showing it to be backordered again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieW Posted March 28, 2020 Share #343 Posted March 28, 2020 I was notified that it was awaiting shipping. Don't know how long it will be before they can do it. From earlier postings, the NJ facilities have shut down. Does anyone know whether that includes the shipping dept? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch for the invoice and the shipping notice. B&H, Amazon, Popflash and others are shipping goods since that can be done with quite adequate distancing.

Jeff S Posted March 28, 2020 Share #345 Posted March 28, 2020 They wouldn’t open the online shop if they couldn’t fulfill orders from it. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode regarding car rental reservations. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silimax Posted March 28, 2020 Share #346 Posted March 28, 2020 I just got SL2 with APO-Summicron-SL 35mm today. I order from Classic Connection one week ago. I just check they still have one set in stock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bherman01545 Posted March 28, 2020 Share #347 Posted March 28, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got my 35SL at Leica Store SF. I believe that they have one more and Leica Store Miami has one, but this was a few days ago 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannirr Posted April 2, 2020 Share #349 Posted April 2, 2020 Ordered 5 days ago - arrived today with 24-90 leans. Seems to be terrific and I like the commonality with my Q2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCH Posted April 3, 2020 Share #350 Posted April 3, 2020 Leica production officially shut down as of April 1st. Whatever inventory available out there will be it for a while. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCH Posted April 3, 2020 Share #352 Posted April 3, 2020 Spoke to three different dealers who confirmed this. Was trying to source a specific item. Here is a posting from rangefinder, a dealer in HK. Makes sense given lockdown orders. https://www.facebook.com/490033344340615/posts/3279103875433534/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in fact the NJ corporate offices, along with NJ Service and the US Online Store (the Store has since been reopened). This was announced by Roger Horn, President of Leica US. I received his email just prior to the closings. I have not seen any similar announcement regarding Wetzlar facilities, on the Leica site or elsewhere, although it’s certainly possible that occurred; hence my request for a link to a formal announcement.

MMCH Posted April 4, 2020 Share #354 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Fair enough. But two Leica store dealers confirmed that production is shutting down. Makes sense given the lockdown. Can’t imagine a camera manufacturing is an essential business Edited April 4, 2020 by MMCH Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted April 4, 2020 Share #355 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) MMCH, Leica, Germany normally shuts down in March/April for 30 day inventory. Does this every year. One of my dealer's stores just got 6 SL2s and were immediately sent out to those on the waiting list. r/ Mark Edited April 4, 2020 by LeicaR10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZN Posted April 4, 2020 Share #356 Posted April 4, 2020 FWIW… I sent my Leica SL Typ-601 and Summicron-M 35mm ASPH in for repairs/ servicing to Leica Australia at the beginning of March 2020. After an initial confirmation from them that they received the equipment, I heard nothing. At the end of March I sent them a note asking for any news (fully aware that the global pandemic is going to have an impact). Received the following reply (dated 31 March 2020): Yes, unfortunately we've just been notified that due to the COVID situation, Customer care centre in Germany has now been closed until further advised. I don't know how this affects production, but looks like Leica Germany has gone into hibernation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T25UFO Posted April 5, 2020 Share #357 Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Leica online store in the UK is fulfilling orders even though the retail store is closed. Still showing SL2 shipping in 2-3 business days. Same delivery for SL Summicron 35 and 50 lenses. Of course, it may not have been updated but still worth checking out to see if they have stock.

scott kirkpatrick Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share #358 Posted April 7, 2020 Every two weeks I look forward to getting another email from B&H telling me that the SL2 is not in stock but they are trying... This week, the email says that are in stock, so the wait list must finally have cleared. Go for it! (I have had mine since last December.)

djinn415 Posted April 8, 2020 Share #359 Posted April 8, 2020 If anyone is interested I am selling an unopened one that will be arriving from Adorama by this Thursday on Fred Miranda. I already bought one back in December from another user. Here is the link to the listing. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1642200/0?keyword=leica,sl2#15193915 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
