You can order directly from Leica’s website. I got it in two days

@irenedp, any specific leica website you used?  The Leica AG site or Leica USA?

@arashtaheri I just did a search for the part number on Leica USA.  It flashed up briefly like it was there and then a message said no results found.

It does show up on the Leica AG site here:  https://leica-camera.com/en-int/photography/accessories/general/microprism-focusing-screen-s

But, it just has a button to locate a dealer, and it is not clear that any of the stores listed would have it.  I would reach out to Wetzlar and see if the know of anyone with Leica S stock still remaining.  It is getting harder to find.

Good luck!

David, I used the Wetzlar site. This past spring when I got the S3. I had it in the S2 already.

I found a dealer in California who has either 3 or 5 screens in stock (she put her hands on 3 but the computer said 5).

Ace Photo is in Northern Virginia, outside DC, not California.

On the "senior moment" side of things, I have an extra ground glass screen with crosshair, AND an extra gridded ground glass screen with cross hair. Yes, somehow I bought two of each over the 12 years that I've shot with an S. Now if only I had found an extra S3 or something like that! 

Interested folks can PM  me. Crazy.
