John Smith Posted August 1, 2020 Share #41 Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) 3 hours ago, scott kirkpatrick said: Few dealers will even tell you where you stand on their lists, which makes the opportunistic sellers (Leica online, B&H) even more attractive. My usual dealer has been able to get me a camera within a week or two of announcement when I have been at least in the first 3-4, they are open about where I stand. But this time I was further back, and the deliveries seem to be coming slower. My usual dealer has lost out of at least three camera sales from me because of the online shop. While I like the idea of being loyal, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to waiting in line when the cameras or lenses are immediately available elsewhere. I bought the M10-R today from the online shop, and it still had at least two more available (black, more in chrome) for immediate sale. Who knows when my dealer would have called me with one.

Advertisement Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Hi John Smith, Take a look here M10-R SHIPPING?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
EddieCheddar Posted August 29, 2020 Share #42 Posted August 29, 2020 Saturday, August 29, 2020, 6:30am California FYI. I just noticed that some Silver M10Rs are available now on the Leica USA online store. If anyone is interested, better grab 'em soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scroy Posted September 2, 2020 Share #43 Posted September 2, 2020 I picked up my silver M10R at the Boston Leica Store on Sunday. They received a shipment on Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billhart Posted September 15, 2020 Share #44 Posted September 15, 2020 I was on the Leica Camera USA site looking at M accessories and noticed the importer has a shop, so I clicked on it and discovered, to my surprise, they had a black M10R so I bought it. While I'm, of course, pleased that I was able to get an M10R, I'm curious as to why the Leica importer, who parcels shipments from Leica to all the Leica Stores and dealers in the US is able, at the same time, to compete with those they supply?

What do you mean “importer has a shop?’ I couldn’t locate that on the site. Thx Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Google makes it more difficult, because 4-6 retailers are desperately trying to get your attention by paying them ad fees to list them ahead of the US Leica distributor's online sales site. There really is a war going on between the major Leica channels, and Google sells the tickets as well as the weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you see at the top are ads, and they are clearly marked as such. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted September 17, 2020 Share #48 Posted September 17, 2020 Google places ads, set in the same type as the search results, with a tiny "AD" string at the front It took me, at least, a little while to learn that I had to scroll down almost a full screenful to get to the genuine search results. On a phone, it can be several screenfulls. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got used to the new style, and automatically filter the Ad entries, but it can be confusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedwp Posted September 19, 2020 Share #51 Posted September 19, 2020 Adam over at Popflash.com said they have a confirmed batch of R's coming in this Tuesday 9/22. He doesn't know how many or what color but I snagged a black one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarosuav Posted October 2, 2020 Share #53 Posted October 2, 2020 They seem to be pretty much readily available. I ordered a black one on September 18th from a Leica boutique (I’m in the US) and week later it was shipped to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsonj Posted October 2, 2020 Share #54 Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Interesting, everywhere seems to be ‘notify me when in stock’. I’m in the US Edited October 2, 2020 by robsonj Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymc226 Posted October 6, 2020 Share #55 Posted October 6, 2020 I am waiting on a silver M10R and got calls from 2 dealers this morning (small town private shops) that they were notified of coming inventory available in a few days. Cannot wait. I packed up my silver M10 and sent it for consignment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I solely use Leica. Sold my Nikon DSLR system a while ago. Also no more film for me. For “classic” digital, I use the M9P and M9M. For the latest, it will be the M10R and M10M. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
