Shout out to USA Leica S camera service

With this purchase I now have 4 S cameras (I did have 5 but sold off a sensor corroded + cracked sensor glass 006 on eBay yesterday!).

I have a 006 S-E (with a replaced sensor but a slight rear screen aberration - currently on eBay.co.uk), a completely refurbished and sensor-replaced S2-P which Leica did £3,714 worth of Goodwill work on, and my current 007 (which has a slightly stiff shutter button and is rated as 7.5/10). 

I can't justify - to myself or to my wife! - buying an S3 so I tend to 'make do' with second-hand, non-Mint cameras. I'll continue with the sale of the 006 S-E and also sell the S2-P and keep my current 007 as a backup. If I ever do manage to buy a second-hand S3 I'll sell one of the 007's.

Let me know when that happens, with your luck I’m sure you’ll find a creampuff of a deal sooner or later 😎

A website glitch that lists an S3 as an S2? Is that my alarm clock ringing..?!

I just bought an Excellent+ condition 007 from Park Cameras. It was £3,799.00 but was subject to a £500 Clearance discount (so down to £3,299.00). I then got 20% V.A.T. off the £3,299.00 to come out at an amazing £2,749.17 ($3,737.00)!! 🤯

My newest 007 looks to have South Korean writing on the base. Anyone else have this version?

Technically, no. Since the UK Brexit vote the Channel Islands are no longer a part of the EU - but nor are we part of the UK as we’re self-governing. Leica UK gave me the go ahead to post direct to Leica… probably to save them the hassle of the Customs paperwork - and the cost!

This is the first useful outcome of Brexit I’ve encountered in the wild that I can relate to!:)
