Max EPR Posted February 8, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I pre-ordered my M11 the morning of the announcement from a large U.S.store. Of course, I check my email every day for some good news. For those that have "new model M" camera purchasing experience, what is your best guess as to the per-order delivery wait time for the M11? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Hi Max EPR, Take a look here Pre-order wait time for my M11. How long?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Photoworks Posted February 8, 2022 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2022 I got one 2 weeks ago, but nobody can say how long because nobody knows how many deliveries and when from Leica. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdahab Posted February 8, 2022 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2022 I made three pre-orders in the USA, morning of the announcement. 1 came in 2 weeks ago, and I took it. Another I made that afternoon (of the announcement) and I just got a call this afternoon that it was available to me. Obviously I declined that to the next person on the list. So they are coming, and I think if you made a day-of pre-order it won't be too much longer of a wait (unless it was a megastore like B&H). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtwo Posted February 8, 2022 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2022 My experience with the M10 and the M10M was that the megastores were not the place to look. Get on as many lists as you can, and big does not equate to available inventory with respect to Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted February 10, 2022 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) The classic way to score a new model Leica early in the product cycle is to find a smaller store, that might get only one, but which has no customers lined up for that one. I almost got one that way in the first two weeks, but discovered a crate of M11s that had just been unpacked by the Leica USA online store. They stayed in stock for a few days. My small store and a big Leica store that owed a friend of mine a favor, were within a week or two of having stock that `i could have gotten if the online source had not worked out. But it takes effort, and I don't feel good about placing multiple orders when I know I want just one.

Herr Barnack Posted February 11, 2022 Share #9 Posted February 11, 2022 Quote Hint: be sure you remember to pass your waitlist positions on to your children in your will. The reading of the will at your attorney's office is supposed to be a solemn occasion. This guarantees that it will resemble an episode of the Jerry Springer Show. 😳 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only at B&H will the waitlist last long enough for this to be a reasonable option for your heirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, I got M11 quick thru a leica dealer in DC, but you have to have establish customer loyalty and dealer relationship receive this privilege.

scroy Posted February 15, 2022 Share #16 Posted February 15, 2022 I pre-ordered mine Day of launch, picked it up on Feb 11. Black chrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max EPR Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share #17 Posted February 17, 2022 34 days after the announcement, I received my black M11. First impressions compared to my M10: Much better highlight control. Incredibly sharp and beautiful photos. Great color. Much improved battery life and I like the new battery format, similar to the Q2/SL2. I like the lighter weight and the external power/data connection. No learning curve required. I like the new menu and sharp & bright display. As far as dislikes, I really have none. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted February 19, 2022 Share #18 Posted February 19, 2022 Leica Boston promised me one from the "next week's shipment, maybe" a day after the announcement, but they only called me just now. I found another at Leica USA online in the meantime. So either my promise got forgotten, or the follow-up shipments have not been nearly as generous as the first day deliveries.

subspacetom Posted February 22, 2022 Share #19 Posted February 22, 2022 Right now I see stock on leicacamerausa.com for M11 Black Finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilsen Posted February 22, 2022 Share #20 Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I preordered mine when it was announced (at 15:06 Central European time, the announcement was at 15:00) and this morning it arrived. It was apparently the first delivery of a black M11 since launch day. Edited February 22, 2022 by nilsen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
