Hi! Checking on recent experiences. I’m on waitlist at Leica Store Miami since July last year. I’m open to buy from other places, where would you suggest putting another preorder in? Leica Store Miami won’t tell me my place in the queue so I have no idea if I’m one month or 6 months away…

Some places that I placed an order with on December 1 and have gotten in stock since then that I have turned down because I got a camera from B&H.... Hunts, District camera, B&C Camera, Pictureline

When did you place your order with B&H? I placed the order on July 28th and the current ETA is April 2024.

Aperture uk £4999 Q3 

That shop's descriptions leave a lot to be desired, the second photo clearly shows a dent on the side if you zoom in, i've visited them a few times and they always over rate the condition in my experience.

Not my experience at all: have been returning customer for 25 years or so. They are very picky when you sell, noting the minutest flaws which you probably didn't spot yourself. Also prompt with payments after sale, but 20% commission which is higher than with other London Leica dealers.

Incidentally, they don't sell new Leica any longer so no Q3 listed.

Ordered mine at several places at around the beginning of June.  B&H quoted me March 2024 delivery.  Also at Leica-Miami, Tamarkin in Chicago, and Englewood Camera in Denver.  In December, Englewood Camera came through.  Got a second call from Englewood about a week later asking if I wanted a second Q3.  This past Monday got an email form Tamarkin saying they had one available.  Have not heard from Leica-Miami or B&H. My $0.02 worth.

Could you explain how to place an order with B&H? I don't see how to do that when the item is shown as backordered — just "request stock alert." Thank you.

With B&H I just went through the normal order process.  Select Q3, add to cart and enter the normal billing information.  You won't get billed until the item is shipped.  If you get Q3 from another vendor, just go back to B&H and cancel the order.

Okay, thank you very much — I'll try it!

I posted on 1.1.24 that I had ordered a Q3 from a UK dealer on 30.12.23. It was delivered yesterday (16.1.24) along with several spare new batteries. So 17 days wait overall for me. 

There are quite a few about in the UK Camera Dealer Network, I bought one a couple of weeks ago, in stock, next day delivery (a few days earlier WEX had two available as well, mine came from Cliftons - they currently have one in stock) - so they are about.

Have you tried Tamarkin in Chicago?  They are an independent Leica dealer.  They had one about a week ago or so.  It was offered to me, but already received one from another vendor.  I was 61 in their original waiting list.  Another place to check is Englewood Camera in Denver.  Good luck.
