Back ordered for months in the usa, available at every street corner in Europe Sometimes it depends on the size of the market in each European country. Bigger market, more stock but more folks wanting to buy them. Small market, less stock but less buyers. IIRC When the M10 landed it was quickly back ordered in the UK and folks were being quoted long lead times. I asked my local store in Portugal what the wait list was and was told as long as it takes...... .....to walk to the storeroom 😅 (I’m fairly sure right now that they have M10r stock for example) oh and OT, but my local (Porto Leica, official AD) ships internationally 😇 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether this has to do with his relationship with Wetzlar, or with the factory in Porto, or simply the amount of Leica stock that he sells, or something else entirely I have no idea and he (understandably) wasn't forthcoming the last time I chatted with him over a beer. He happens to be a very nice gent too so good luck to him I say.🙂 Pete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has something to do with being a flagship store which therefore gets the gear; combined with a local market which is perhaps a little smaller than some other Euro territories. He sort of alluded to this when I suggested it was the reason they got the good stuff! (He confirmed that being a flagship store helped with stock allocation, he didn't comment on the scale of his market share) Definitely good luck to him, I was so pleased to see them reopen last week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted October 24, 2021 Share #71 Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone , would we expect the BP editions of this v3 lens to be the same weight (more or less) as the Titanium and Silver Chrome (both brass) E46 versions ? Those ones are 395g I think (versus the 275g of the original E46 black aluminium) Thanks G Edited October 24, 2021 by grahamc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedor Ushakov Posted February 2, 2022 Share #76 Posted February 2, 2022 Hello. please tell me, if it's not difficult, what is the current price for summilux-m 50/1.4 pre-asph black paint e46 with serial number 401xxxx? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted February 2, 2022 Share #77 Posted February 2, 2022 I'm sorry, the forum does not allow valuations - which would be impossible in this case anyway, as the condition of the lens is not known. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
