colonel Posted May 2 Share #1 Posted May 2 Advertisement (gone after registration) Useless question of the week .. I have been offered an ex-display silver M11 by a dealer in mint condition, with a large discount for the same price I can get a second hand M11-P black in mint condition i like the silver and the red dot, but on the other hand also like the stealth. In terms of features not sure anything interests me but the M11-P is a newer model. what would you guys do ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted May 2 Share #3 Posted May 2 Only you can decide whether you need the features of the M11-P. Personally, I don't and I prefer silver bodies. So I'd take the M11, but if you're planning to resell it, you're likely to get a lower price for it as it's a discontinued model. Also, 64GB SSDs may become out-of-stock spares sooner than later models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
costa43 Posted May 2 Share #4 Posted May 2 (edited) I have the M11-P. The additional memory and sapphire screen are nice to haves though neither have proved to be anything more than a spec sheet advantage for me so far. I think the P model will hold onto its value better than the standard model but otherwise it’s down to the looks you prefer. I don’t see a strong enough reason to go with the base M11 if they are the same price but if you want silver and red dots then you won’t miss out on much by skipping the P. I say go with the model that speaks to you the most. The initial gut instinct tends to be the right path in my experience.

jakontil Posted May 3 Share #5 Posted May 3 Personally i would prefer a silver and brass hence M11 in this case unless u prefer the looks of P and content credentials as well as more spacious 256 Gb internal memory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2mpx Posted May 3 Share #6 Posted May 3 Purely a quick observation, but it seems the M11 received more posts on you tube, here and other forums about freezing, color casts etc than the M11-p? Perhaps the M11-p available date coincided with the updated firmware fixes? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted May 3 Share #7 Posted May 3 Advertisement (gone after registration) Presumably the ex display camera comes with full Leica warranty. What do you get with the other one? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNK100 Posted May 3 Share #8 Posted May 3 I would feel more comfortable with the M11 if it is from a dealer with a warranty and if the P isn't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt736 Posted May 3 Share #9 Posted May 3 If its that M11P on the UK MPB site , I'm pretty sure the same camera has been on and off the site 3 times in the last couple of weeks, not sure why but does strike me as strange an 8k camera new is selling for just over 6k near mint . They only give 6 months warranty as standard with their sales. Tread carefully. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt736 Posted May 5 Share #14 Posted May 5 No choice now someone has brought the M11P from MPB.....see how many days pass before its back for sale again. Just had a thought maybe its staff members using it over the weekend/bank holiday , then its getting returned back for sale once they have finished , as its not a new item they are selling , who would know. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

costa43 Posted May 6 Share #18 Posted May 6 People can reserve items on MPB by submitting a trade request, if the trade request does not happen then the item is re-releaed back into the wild... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainly explain the reason why its been on and off the site in the last few weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
