Â You know they are both apples. Â They look the same, they smell the same, they taste the same. Â But then I call one of them a pear and put a red sticker on it. Â Now you have one apple and one pear. Â And then I say that is the last apple, we have stopped growing apples. Â 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted April 11, 2023 Share #28  Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) 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.  Edited April 11, 2023 by MarkP 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmknoble Posted April 12, 2023 Share #30  Posted April 12, 2023 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.

colint544 Posted April 15, 2023 Share #31 Â Posted April 15, 2023 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. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted April 17, 2023 Share #33 Â Posted April 17, 2023 When I looked at the Leica site a few days ago, I was also astonished that I could only find the M6. Either I did not look well or they changed the site recently, but anyway here are the MP and M-A: https://leica-camera.com/en-GB/photography/cameras/m?field_pim_categories=1199 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. .
