Anyone in the U.S. get their 30% off lens?

[John Camp]

I bought my original M8 in November, and in the last two weeks got the Wide-Angle Tri-Elmar (WATE) and two 60mm IR/UV filters. As I understand it, some lenses are in short supply, and the 28 has been mentioned; and Leica announced at one point, some months ago, a schedule for producing the filters, with the rarest filters (the 55 and 60, I believe) to come last, in late June. And so it was.

I'm still waiting for the 30%-off lens I ordered in April. I got a nice email from a support person in Germany when I asked for status a week or so ago. It did not make any promises, just apologized for the day and implied they're swamped with orders. I wonder if Leica has ever had such a big sale before. 30% off is a lot of money....

I did finally receive this lens in late July, a lovely 75mm Summicron. Very happy with it.

 

[POINT OF VIEW]

Seven months for lens and 6 for filters

It took me 7 months to receive a Tri Elmar, it came from NJ, USA. 6 months to get the filters, they came from Solms Germany. GALLERIES

I didn't get my M8 soon enough...and after the M8 I really didn't have enough money left over to get any Leica glass, 30 percent off or not.
If I had it I probably would of gotten a 50mm summicron. Call me boring.

I shouldn't worry - it took over 5 months for me to have a full price WATE order fulfilled with my local Leica dealer. My Tri-Elmar ordered at the same time is officially 'still on order' with Leica although I'm not expecting ever to see it.
