Let's say I put two apples in front of you.  You know they are both apples.  They look the same, they smell the same, they taste the same.  But then I call one of them a pear and put a red sticker on it.  Now you have one apple and one pear.  And then I say that is the last apple, we have stopped growing apples.  All that you can now get is that pear with the little red sticker.

That's how I would feel if this was real.

As long as I can order a black paint pear with no red sticker and a straight stem then I'm good.

Yes in stock for once.  And very expensive ! AU $9800 / US6500 / EUR6000

Is this how much they are in those territories or are we getting stung with a premium for the long flight out here again . ( Recent releases have been 10% overpriced versus other territories )

$9,390 it seems. When did the prices jump (again)? Pretty sure it started with a 7 a few months ago …. Getting utterly ridiculous now.

Currently €5.550 for an MP and the MA is €5.350 in Europe.

Currently £4,400 for an MP, £4,200 for an M-A and £4,500 for an M6 in the UK.

That should be AUD 7200 (I assume that includes VAT). They’re AUD 9400 here (including GST).

I can fly to the UK discount, buy one there, and fly back for the same money.

Yes, we’re being ripped off here big time.

It's interesting that so many older cameras (M4-P's, M6's, M7's) are still being offered with new MP finders installed.  I don't think it's just using parts up to get rid of them.  For Leica to invest in a new film camera (again after the MA) I think they are committed to keep a few.  The MA has no electronics to stock, just machined parts. 

I'll bet they stay awhile longer and just get slower to deliver.

Surely there can't be a future for the back chrome M-A? The black M11, and the new M11M have ditched the black chrome finish, saying it's for environmental concerns.

 

Same with the new M6.  Maybe my black chrome M-A will be a collector's item ;)

When I looked at the Leica site a few days ago, I was also astonished that I could only find the M6.

It's not that MP and M-A were discontinued. It's just the web-site went hay-wire. The web designer got heels over head about the new M6 and screwed up the web-site. :rolleyes:

It is!? :blink:

Boy, am I glad I got mine for € 3,600 a couple of years ago. But then ... it seems to lack an essential feature: it doesn't scratch film :mellow:
