Bixi Posted September 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everybody! I'm new to this forum and I really like it already! I've been using a Nikon D700 for a while. Tomorrow is the big day. My Leica M9 will arrive. And yes, I'm thrilled and outstanding exited about it! I'd like to get a protective cover for the LCD screen. Does anyone have an idea where to get it from and if it exists? Is the LCD screen the same dimension than from the M8? Thanks in advance from a nice New Zealand, Bixi http://www.birgitkrippner.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Deranger Posted September 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2009 Hi Bixi, I'm new to the forum too, and Leica in general. (Ex 5DII user). I don't really have an answer to your question really (and I would be interested in the answer too), but I would love to know when and with whom you placed your M9 order for it to arrive so soon already? I'm in Wellington too, but chose to place my order with http://www.photo.co.nz as the company I work for have a good relationship with them. Their estimated shipping time is 1-3 weeks at least. And for the 50mm Summilux I ordered as well they quoted 4-6 weeks. I hope it get's here sooner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera & Camera (09.303.1879) in Auckland got two M9s. The first one was sold a couple days ago. I got the second one. And they also had two Summilux M 50MM F1.4 ASPH in stock. One of them I'll get tomorrow morning with my M9. I was told that they have a second Summilux M 50MM F1.4 ASPH in stock. There is one store in Christchurch which got one M9. Which sold a few days ago. Wellington Photographic Supplies is the store in Wellington which I normally like to buy from. But since they didn't have the camera in stock, nor the lens, I bought it from Camera & Camera. We should get together one day and shoot around Wellington! Good luck, Bixi Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Deranger Posted September 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2009 Thank you for the information Bixi! That other store in Christchurch must be Photo & Video International (the place I linked to in my first post) with whom I placed my order. The gentleman I corresponded with to place my order, mentioned they sold out on friday. Whether than meant they sold just one, or more I don't know. They ordered two more, which should arrive in 1-3 weeks, pray one of them is mine. Anyway, with work being the way it is, I won't get much time to use it anyway for the next month or two. Funny coincidence you should order the 50mm summilux too. Let's hope the weather will be favourable for you this coming weekend! Best of luck with your kit and let us now how you fare.
