sparkie Posted May 25, 2009 Share #81 Posted May 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Apparently - from a trusted source - they will actually have Dr Kauffman in the shop, in a cage, so you can vent all your ideas/anger at him directly and he has to listen! What a masterstroke they've pulled with that one. I heard they'll have a couple of fräuleins on either side in bird cages dangling from the ceiling in leathers and whips. oh yeah Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share #84 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) In this week's BJP there is a DSLR supplement listing all manufacturers' cameras including the S2 with following description, "only seen in prototype so far and will be backed with a professional service plan including a service loan pool and leasing arrangements" ... so after sales service and finance would seem to be one area where the new store could find a niche. Also mentions that four lenses will be available initially ie 35/2.5, 70/2.5, 120/2.5 macro and 180/3.5.

Cheers dunk On Leica's S2 minisite the information on service and support for the S system was last updated at the end of March. LEICA Camera AG - Eigene Sales- und Support-Organisation This fits with what was hinted at in the recruitment blurb for the new London store.

stevelap Posted June 11, 2009 Share #86 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) In response to a an enquiry I made to Leica UK concerning the S2 and the London store, they said....'no comment': "I regret we are not able to make any statement regarding the Leica Store." Unsurprising really, but at least it's not a denial of its very existence. Keep your eyes peeled, should you happen to be strolling around Mayfair. Oh, and they said this about the S2: "To the best of my knowledge the LEICA S2 is on schedule and due for launch Summer 2009. The only information available is on the Leica website." Again, unsurprising and non-committal, but the 'on schedule' message is consistent with what others have reported in various threads.

andybarton Posted June 11, 2009 Share #88 Posted June 11, 2009 What do you expect them to say, Mark? If they haven't got a firm date to open (have they even got a firm address, yet?), then what more is there to say? Everyone knows that a store is coming - they have advertised for staff - so that's about it at the moment. Why does everyone want companies to tell them everything NOW?

Everyone knows that a store is coming - they have advertised for staff - so that's about it at the moment. Why does everyone want companies to tell them everything NOW? Agree totally. Wait and hear the next official announcement - wherever and whenever that might be - and the nearer to the day the better. Just imagine all the organization necessary to bring the store and its back-up services to fruition - a major task to probably provide a professional sales, after sales and leasing service for the S2 system ... and make same future proof as well in order to cope with the competition.

stevelap Posted June 11, 2009 Share #90 Posted June 11, 2009 Yep, I don't disagree with 'wait and see' and didn't really expect them to be able to give out any meaningful information. Worth a punt though and at least it reminds them that interest is out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted June 11, 2009 Share #91 Posted June 11, 2009 Well, there are different ways of responding to such a request and "I regret we are not able to make any statement regarding the Leica Store." is hardly indicative of them welcoming your interest and enquiry.

I was just pleased to get any reply Mark, after a previous email and phone call (different department) went unanswered:). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
