I predict the last edition will be marketed as the Special Edition M11 Black Paint, Freeze Free, File Loss Free, 100% Reliable, and takes photographs with no color shift..blah, blah, blah.  So get your black AMEX cards cleared and ready in the coming year or so for a easy $10K USD...for a rangefinder camera that will actually work.  (No returns accepted)

I asked my dealer. A new Monochrom is just shy of NZ$18,000 now. 
 

He suggested any special editions etc of the 11 would exceed $20,000 and the 12 might too. 
 

At that point, they officially become stupidly expensive. IMO. 

For me, they are already stupidly overpriced at 9k euro for what they are but I will pay it (for now at least) and Leica knows this very well!

The M11-D is still coming though. But almost certainly not BP.

I have asked Kanto for a black paint to my m11  black chrome. They quoted $750 USD which is reasonable, but 24 months waiting which I didn’t accept.

Now I’m reconsidering that

No.

Leica Stores, as usual, will deal with it before shipping.

Same with new M11, M11-P and M11-R already produced and packed.

Not for me, since if the outer box has been opened (by anyone) I will return it immediately.

+1 yup, absolutely same for me.  I want the last hands to touch a new camera before I personally open it, to be from Wetzler.

showy announcement is one thing - carrying it around is another one.

in that respect i am perhaps glad i couldn't sell my m10d yet as of today - and who knows when the m11d begin to drizzle in at our local Leica Boutique.

for the mean time i will still need a camera at hand for my occasional snapshots here and there, once in a while...

Indeed, every one of Wetzler’s fingerprints bears his name:

„Jeder Fingerabdruck trägt meinen Namen“ - https://weingut-wetzler.de

But out of curiosity, why would you want a winemaker to handle your new camera? Does it leave a particular patina on the leatherette? And assuming he’d pour enough wine into it, does it result in double exposures?

I've heard the Leica M11-D was delayed till June and I think Leica Rumors said delayed for a month back when they thought it was coming out May 16th.  Anyone have any inside info on what day it might get released now?

i feel sitting on needles for the last few months regarding the m11d's announcement, checking hourly all related websites - rumors fora google whatever !

i don't even seem to discuss magyar politics anymore with my wife during breakfast, just leica leica leica...  though it's 'just' a camera, right ?

anyway, we are soon in the month of june, starting tomorrow, let's hope !  it may just take Wetzlar a bit longer to stick or reattach that lovely thumbrest to the shutter button...

Since Magyar national pastime is depression, and Leica mania is the opposite, I guess the latter cures the former!:)

Yeah, it's frustrating that they delayed (if they did indeed to originally announce on May 16).  Hopefully there will be more news soon.  I am finally ready to move from my M10-R to M11 but I really don't want to buy an M11-P to have an M11-D announced soon after.   But it does appear that Leica Rumors just got their hands on the QuickStart guide for M11-D: https://leicarumors.com/2024/05/31/here-is-the-upcoming-rumored-leica-m11-d-camera.aspx/ and actually you can download the full QuickStart guide from Leica at: https://leica-camera.com/sites/default/files/pm-110460-leica_m11-d_qsg.pdf

wow, one step closer !  thank you very much for this precious link, kevinjoe !

now i can finally go to sleep and dream about magyar depression - or even better, dream about dancing a csárdás with an m11d around my neck !
