Leica M11-P, when?

As excited as I am for the M11P, getting a new camera that’s perfect for street photography just in time for winter takes a bit of the bounce out of the bungee. 
June, Leica, June!

FOMO. Nothing wrong with the M11, M10, M9, M2-8 for street photography, P, D, or otherwise.

The Anti-Red Dot Brigade would disagree. 😁

I've got a 1/2 inch piece of 3M black photo tape I'll sell to anyone that wants a P for the bargain price of $500 (with shipping anywhere). Beats the loss of trading in a perfectly usable M11 for the P model.

The subject title says "when".  LFI Newsletter this afternoon says:

So maybe M11-P will be announced then.

I guess you're right. This is clearly related to the launch of the M11P. October 20th is a good date for this upcoming camera. In any case, I have ordered mine and hope to be delivered before end of october.

Just for curiosity: How does this work - ordering a Leica camera that officially has not yet been announced?

It cannot be a real order, as neither price, features or product numbers are known. But some Leica dealers manage a kind of pre-order list and have put people on it for the M11P since a few months.

Just go to your dealer an pre-order one. The dealer (as you do too) knows that the M11-P will be here soon. The dealer might want to create a waiting list. If you are on top of the list you will have your P very soon 🥰.

Also you are generally not obligated to purchase when doing this, you'll just be notified that you are next on list and there is an available copy and you say yes/no. It helps if you are a known spender at the store, of course. I considered doing it too but it's hard to imagine any upgrade in the M11-P over my M11 that I can't justify the cost of upgrade. But I'm still interested to see if there will be any surprising changes.

Of course, they might surprise us all with the M11-D 😂

Anyway, I think I'll pass unless I can persuade Leica Mayfair to offer GBP 12,000 for my M10R Black Paint . . .

Keep the Black Paint M10-R 😇

I am just surprised about message of the silver M11 being disconued? I normally would expect Leica to sell both the M11 and M11-P in parallel, or not?

If this ends up being true (above quote), I’m surprised here as well and thinking that this is really odd. So perhaps reserving all new brass bodies for the M11p? Maybe the M11D, or M11 BP 😀

I must admit at first I thought discontinuing the chrome M11 was madness as Leica hadn't done this before but if you think about it it makes sense. In the future the M11 only comes in black, has the aluminium top plate and the M11P's are brass topped traditional painted black(?) or chrome with extra internal storage 256(?) may be and no re dot. The New M11P.

Leica Store Bellevue (WA, USA) is having a grand opening of their new location October 21st ... ribbon cutting ... opening exhibition ... wonder if it's coinciding with any other event?

Both the silver and black M11 are soon to be listed as discontinued everywhere. This has nothing to do with silver being discontinued as an option.

Ok, now we have real intrigue. What possibly could/would Leica be thinking/building if the above is correct?
