Disregarding all the international trade turmoil, do we think we'll see an M11-P Reporter edition with the green paint and Kevlar?

I don’t think you will see Kevlar ever again.  Green paint for sure.

You can laser cut kevlar to make your own..

I hope not....

I liked my SL2S Reporter and Q2 Reporter models.

Never underestimate Leica to come out with models to sell to an ever shrinking market base.

Been waiting for the M11 Safari, but it feels like it’s never coming, especially since we already got the gloss black.

Reporters are awesome but Leica learned its lesson with Aramid (formerly known as Kevlar).

The SL and Q reporters were not really huge hits

but the M10-P was, mostly due to rarity.

I had one of those flashlights when I was in the Army in the 1980’s.  No cameras then.  Great memories though.

Based on? Comparative sales figures? 

FWIW I had the Q2 Reporter, and, after 18 months heavy use with no fraying edges, traded it in for the Q3 43 last autumn. Used Q2 Reporters then were selling for more than the standard finish.

There's a "limited" M11-P coming first week of May and its rumoured to be green.

If this comes true, M11 black paint vs M11P safari, what’s your choice?

Pretty hard to decide on my own

Do you have silver lenses? If so I would be all over the Safari, it looks stunning with silver glass. I also think it will hold it's value better than the Glossy Black moving forward. I'm not a fan of the M11 GB, prefer the standard black or silver version of the M11-P and I also prefer to have the P extras, but as always, subjective. All great cameras.

I wonder if the M11-P Safari will be brass based or not, my M10-P Safari has a few patina spots which also looks pretty nice.

Better be brass or no sale.

I love brassss but i think i have enough with m11, and sticking with GB

So 2000 limited production run. May be trickier to get hands on this. Time to get to your local Leica store.

The subject heading is M11-P Reporter but latest rumours are for M11-P Safari.  To which do you refer?  And what is the evidence for the numbers?

It's a Safari. I don't work for Leica, so no evidence allegedly but you don't have to wait too much longer now. Early May

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[algrove]

So what exactly is the allure of a Safari M11?
