In the last week or so, is has been a lot of thees "Me too" polls in the M8/M9 forum.

(Like how many will order, how many will buy, how many will not buy etc)

 

Can anyone tell me what is so interesting about these polls?

Yes, black was in stock and that's what I ordered. SH Photo from Nurnberg. The will ship to Singapore via UPS and claim a delivery time of 2 days. I hope they are right because I can't hold my breath longer than that :-)

Ordered mine at the beginning of last month with deposit and secured #1 position at my dealer. UK Leica salesman seems to have been favouring certain dealers by ensuring they had considerable stock yesterday and then told other smaller dealers that Leica UK would have no stock at all for 10 days or more. Stupid - doesn't he realise that people would talk on the internet about their M9. Leica keep banging on about customer loyalty and loyalty to your local Leica dealer. This is not the way to engender it. My dealer is pretty unhappy about this situation and will be taking it up with David Bell (MD of Leica UK) tomorrow.

 

Grey/Anthracite when it does arrive.

Yes..ordered(by phone) mine yesterday had it flown in overnight Red Label...be here this morning. Another $90 !

 

In black too.

 

We are so much like children on Christmas morning....Leica*puts out a new model and we jump at it..then cannot wait for it to arrive..only to share our likes and dis-likes.

 

We are still children at heart.

Who was it that said, "If it is expensive, I'll buy it ! "

10 days will hardly kill you Wilson. Who is your dealer? I was told I could have one yesterday but I'm on holiday and decided to pass for now.

 

It is not the 10 days I mind, after all I had to wait months for my M8. It was the fact that the Leica rep was lying to my dealer and a pretty stupid lie at that. My dealer is H.A.Baker in Lewes, who I have used for many years. They are a very small dealer and unless I and a few others support them, they will give up. They are only 4 miles from my UK base and therefore very convenient.

 

I am going back to the UK next week for a board meeting, when it would have been very convenient to drop by my dealer and pick it up but now it is going to have to come to me in France by courier - both additional expense and risk. I had replacement Meridian G57 power amplifiers sent to me in France last year to replace the one destroyed by a lightning strike. The couriers had the first one stolen and the other arrived in bits. I gave up and bought an inferior pair of monoblocs locally. I would not be happy if that happened to my M9.

Yes,

 

The only one my dealer has received is a grey one. (Beautiful BTW) but I ordered a black one. (similar to my M8)

Will be available end of September.

 

Now start the delicious time of expectation..

 

All the best,

Jean-Luc
