Tomsmac Posted March 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good morning! In response to the outrageous prices for a used M6 I’ve placed a pre-order for a new MP. (Miami) Does anyone have a feeling for what the wait times have been? Thank you!

Did not personally see the unit however their website photos are of the actual units for sale. In case your interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danner Posted March 28, 2022 Share #6 Posted March 28, 2022 It's worth checking Leica USA, NJ, as they have many items in stock and for sale. Just checked, and there are no MA's of MPs at the present time. I'm sure LS Miami would hold no grudge if you found it elsewhere and canceled their order, as that MP would sell to another very quickly. Good luck.

davidmknoble Posted March 29, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 29, 2022 @Tomsmac It really depends in the Wetzlar cycle and where the MP is in the cycle. Because the MA is all mechanical, my guess is that it is faster because of the delays in some electronic parts. I have purchased 3 new MP’s over the years, all from Miami (great folks) with the last 2 being a-la-carte (0.58 and 0.85). The last one I ordered as the a-la-carte was going away and it took awhile. The other two were fairly fast. as with anything Leica, you will just have to wait. I think the least expensive M film bodies I have seen, quality for the money, are the M4’s. You can always pick up a cheaper ‘user’ body with some dings and enjoy the film aspect. They you have a backup body or a second film speed body, albeit without a light meter. Just a thought. It will certainly be worth the wait. The MP’s are solid like the M3’s, but a little more modern. Excited for you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohhhh Posted March 29, 2022 Share #10 Posted March 29, 2022 I was told in my store that lead times are 3-6 months and then they called me 5 days later that one MP arrived and if I want to pick it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kivis Posted March 30, 2022 Share #14 Posted March 30, 2022 It requires patience. I have been there and it sucks. Leica Miami are great people and will get units as fast as anyone. Hang in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikaelo67 Posted April 11, 2022 Share #16 Posted April 11, 2022 I bought a new Black MP that Leicacenter in Stockholm had in stock last Friday. I love it. They even gifted me a Red Leica leather strap. Super friendly store. I guess they ship internationally. And Swedens VAT is a crazy 25%, so if you buy it Taxfree you can deduct 20% from the list price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
