mdemeyer Posted May 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Strange email just now from B&H. I guess I had an availability watch set for the silver M10 and just got an email saying it was discontinued and no longer available. System glitch or something good in the works?

Leicaiste Posted May 20, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 20, 2020 The M10-P is still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted May 20, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Adorama has the silver model as "closeout", whereas both black versions and silver MP are available. Edited May 20, 2020 by james.liam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted May 20, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2020 Given the factory has been closed I'm not surprised that 'no longer available' may have been misconstrued from something like 'not currently available to order'. Have patience, it's not a time to wave arms around in the air and panic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted May 20, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Even Leica Store Miami is showing "Out of Stock (not "Out of production" or "No Longer Available") - for a boatload of M variants: regular M10 (both colors), M10-P (both colors), MP (both colors), M-A (both colors). And to add to the confusion, there was a limited-run M10 "Leitz Park Edition" in silver as well as black, which are sold out, not just out of stock. As 250swb says, it is likely the whole supply chain has dried up - for the moment. And so may have the "communication chain." https://leicastoremiami.com/collections/leica-m-system-m-system-camera Edited May 20, 2020 by adan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmoore Posted May 20, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 20, 2020 There is a new M10X coming this year but I don't think that it necessarily coincides with this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 21, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) The whole factory has been closed down, like many factories in Germany. I'm not sure whether they are starting up already, but with the rules for distancing and contamination avoidance that are in place in Germany, it will be a while before production reaches a reasonable level.

jaapv Posted May 21, 2020 Share #8 Posted May 21, 2020 The most reliable place to check availability is Meister Kamera. They show the silver M10 (basic) as "not available", but all other M10 variants are in stock, including the "Lenny Kravitz Drifter" (yuk) "ASC 100" and "White" (double yuk) editions, as are the silver and black M240-ies. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted May 21, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 21, 2020 I would believe that they will have a 40X megapixel version out soon..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be indeed the most plausible explanation. Notably, Leica‘s own German online shopping website says „derzeit nicht verfügbar“ which means „currently not available“. This could likewise explain why my WATE did not arrive yet... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted May 21, 2020 Share #14 Posted May 21, 2020 I read that they are already manufacturing an M10 with a higher resolution sensor; probably the 47mp one being used in the M10M. This may be the reason they have stopped manufacture of the 24mp M10. https://photographybytomlane.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onasj Posted May 22, 2020 Share #18 Posted May 22, 2020 M10R manufacturing (hopefully a color version of the outstanding 41 MP M10M sensor, not the 47 MP SL2 sensor) needs M10 bodies. Diverting them from the silver M10 line makes sense, though the internals should more closely resemble the M10P. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie s Posted May 22, 2020 Share #19 Posted May 22, 2020 Of course. I bought an M10 this week. but more seriously - companies are having a lot of issues shipping stuff around the globe right now because of the lack of commercial flights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charadis Posted May 23, 2020 Share #20 Posted May 23, 2020 I've had a M-P (Typ 240) that was sent to Germany by Customer Care here on March. Repair status just recently changed to complete on Wednesday with a follow-up e-mail from Jennine telling me that my camera is on its way back to me; tracking shows delivery scheduled next week. Might be a sign that the factory could be opening back up On 5/20/2020 at 7:46 PM, jaapv said: The whole factory has been closed down, like many factories in Germany.
