james.liam Posted November 18, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) With this meaningless sales ploy to rid themselves of the final batch of Monochrom's, the M10M must be just around the corner!

Advertisement Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Hi james.liam, Take a look here M246 Desperately Silly Special Edition Time. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jeff S Posted November 19, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 19, 2019 Only meaningless if nobody buys it. Otherwise, added profits, which among other things, helps fund production of that M10M. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be exciting. Edited November 19, 2019 by james.liam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted November 19, 2019 Share #4 Posted November 19, 2019 Silly? As compared to, say, the "Andy Summers Signature" edition? I'm not currently in the market for a Monochrom, but given that I have five M lenses, and three of them are "Leitz" (Canada), and none of them are "Leica," and the price is $400 less than list for the vanilla edition..... this actually seems sensible by Leica Special Edition standards. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 5? I'm aghast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted November 19, 2019 Share #6 Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Yeah, well - four of them cost $1000 each or less, and I figure the mid-1980s 135 TE ($450) and 75 Summilux ($3250) average out to $1850 apiece for two competent and desirable Leitz teles. Less than some Summarits. Fashion hound, naw. Cheap SOB, yes. But I do agree Leica is pushing 246s out the door for some reason (there were also the "Drifter" and "Stealth" kits).

colint544 Posted November 19, 2019 Share #7 Posted November 19, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think that, for an M246, this looks extremely nice. Leica are masters at keeping an ageing design going. Their runout models are always the ones that you would like them to have when the design is new. Has a Leica product had the word "Leitz" inscribed on it in the last thirty years, is this a first? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted November 19, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2019 First (maybe) after M4P. I think in a-la carte programme one can ask for standard top plate inscription which is very nice, would be my preference over plain Leitz. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted November 20, 2019 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2019 I prefer my plain "nude" top plate. For a while, I'd prefer in silver chrome M(typ 246), but plain black can take same pictures, so I've chosen the available one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
