I think we all thought it was going to ship in December, but since it didn't, does anyone have info on when it's likely to show up?

Let's count the products shown at Photokina:

 

S2 - Not available

9 S lenses - Not available

5 M lenses - Not available

New Spotting Scopes - Not available

Warmed-over M8 - available

2 rebadged Pansonics - available

Projector - who knows?

 

Perhaps someone should tell Leica that the whole point of all this development work is that the products make it to market.

 

[Perhaps my spoof conversation has an element of truth... http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/72434-new-upgrade-prices-9.html#post751850 ]

If Leica really wants to tempt the PRO market with the S system or any of the other Products, then they have to realise that it actually has to be made available to be purchased ... We can't wait forever , if we need something then it has to be bought now and then and not in 6 to 12 month ...

I tell you what. Why don't they just rush some of this stuff to market regardless...?

 

They said that the S and lenses would be available during 2009. 2009 is only 7 days old, by my watch, so maybe some patience is required.

 

The M lenses might be a couple of months delayed. No one died.
