Melampus Posted December 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) On the Red Dot Camera website (here) in London, there is a note about a 15% cash-back rebate on new Leica lenses. However, on the UK Leica site I can find no information on this. Only the £650 cash-back offer for the M8.2 is mentioned, which seems to include cameras bought from dealers in the UK and Ireland . I'm interested in knowing if the 15% lens deal extends to Ireland as well. I'll be in Dublin next week, and I can see a deal shaping up. With this and reclaiming the VAT, a new Summicron 28 ASPH is substantially cheaper than in the US, even with the US$ 300 rebate. Does anyone know more about the 15% lens deal? Many thanks in advance.

ger1g0 Posted December 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2008 I just bought a bunch of stuff from them yesterday. Yes the owner did talk about the 15% rebate. He said that he received the notice from the main office literally yesterday. But he is trying to find out whether it would apply to foreigners buying in the UK because of something around having a British bank account. Not quite clear. But I would agree that with the currency fluctuations, it has made it very favorable to buy Leicas in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoin Posted December 3, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 3, 2008 I wouldn't hold your breath hoping to buy a cheap Leica lens in Ireland. LOL We are (us Irish) living with the most over inflated price structures in Europe. Btw the dealer at the top of Grafton St has both a std and chrome version of the 35 Summicron Asph and a 28 Summicron Asph. 2 Black & 1 M8.0 in the window.

marknorton Posted December 3, 2008 Share #7 Posted December 3, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) £650 cash back is on the M8 only, not the M8.2. The 15% cash back on lenses applies to all except the new big 3 plus the 24mm Elmar. Of course. Still, if things get desperate enough, they may be included as well.

wattsy Posted December 3, 2008 Share #8 Posted December 3, 2008 That's annoying having invested in a new lens only a couple of weeks ago. I've been expecting Leica to start heavily discounting the M8 (and the M8.2 at some point next year) but I didn't see the lens cashback deal coming at all.
