gesper Posted October 2, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Noctilux that I requested under the 30% discount program arrived today. To give an idea around timing, I bought my M8 in November 2006, order the Noctilux the same day I received the letter from Germany (the original letter with the wrong prices, by the way), received confirmation of my order on March 5, lens arrived today by UPS.

Advertisement Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Hi gesper, Take a look here 30% Discount Noctilux. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
thai.charlie Posted October 2, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 2, 2007 Sooo... does it backfocus? I hope not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted October 2, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 2, 2007 That was pretty fast actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai.charlie Posted October 2, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2007 Heh, expectant parents don't have to wait as long as you did! But feel lucky that you finally have one, as you know many are wanting but are having a tough time getting. And then there are those (like me) who have one and are trying to work out the focus calibration issue... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
c6gowin Posted October 2, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 2, 2007 My 30% Noctilux came yesterday. My order was received by Solms on April 4th - almost 6 months, but 1 month sooner than gepser's order. Perhaps they come in batches. I would be much happier if I wasn't out of town with work and didn't have to wait a few more days to get home to it. Regardless, I am very excited to receive the lens. My kit is almost complete (for now). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted October 2, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 2, 2007 Oh--so maybe the lenses are on their way at last! Of course, I didn't order mine till June Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted October 2, 2007 Share #8 Posted October 2, 2007 Does sound like a batch has arrived from Canada. Question is, are Leica service ready for the onslaught of returns? Mine is supposedly fixed and on its way back, so we'll see if Leica have been able to fix the focussing action and stop the lens feeling like the lens barrel is about to detach from the camera.

Not to make you feel bad, but I ordered mine in March and got it early July. No rhyme or reason I suppose... Yes it does back focus slightly. Nothing I can't learn to live with.

tbarker13 Posted October 2, 2007 Share #10 Posted October 2, 2007 Just got a call from Leica this morning letting me know that mine also is on its way. Think I placed my order back in March. Now comes the challenge: Keep the Noctilux or my 75 Summilux. That's going to cause a bit of agony, I suspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGeoJO Posted October 2, 2007 Share #11 Posted October 2, 2007 Ack, I hope mine isn't coming yet. I have no cash! Carsten, They will just take that amount from the credit card that you gave them when you placed the order. Who needs cash :D? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gesper Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted October 2, 2007 Sooo... does it backfocus? I hope not! I'm afraid to find out! Given how hard it is to get one, I'm almost afraid to take it out of the box (almost). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henning Posted October 2, 2007 Share #14 Posted October 2, 2007 Oh--so maybe the lenses are on their way at last! Of course, I didn't order mine till June I ordered my WATE with finder in June and received the lens a month ago. The really good part was that the cost (in Canada, $CDN) was $2832 all taxes and shipping included. A very good price. Henning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gesper Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted October 2, 2007 Sorry, Guy, I was hoping it would be encouraging in that a batch is finally on its way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted October 2, 2007 Share #16 Posted October 2, 2007 Carsten,They will just take that amount from the credit card that you gave them when you placed the order. Who needs cash :D? I live in Europe. At the end of every month, they take the entire balance from my bank account. This is not as convenient in the short run as living in Canada, but it is healthier overall for my financial life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGeoJO Posted October 2, 2007 Share #19 Posted October 2, 2007 Depressing thread. i lost out on a postmark date. Are you saying that you did miss the deadline then? That's depressing alright . I waited until the last week before I turned mine in. Apparently, quite a bit of folks did that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
