Ever bought a NEW Leica body or lens.

[nobbylon]

Out of curiosity and please be honest.
Only lens or body purchase.
Have you ever bought NEW?
Multiple items don't count multiple, it's a sraight one vote per member.

I have bought several items new. Can I vote yes, or is this only one item? What is the idea behind this poll?

A 50 Summilux asph about ten years ago. A few years before that I got some money from my Dad's estate and bought several new Leica lens's. The 28 Summicron is my favorite. Also one of the last available M6 .85 cameras new in 1999. I'd rather have Dad back but it doesn't work that way. Joe

If it's been within the last 10 years, then you pick option #1. If it's been longer than 10 years, you pick option #2. If you've never bought, then option #3.

Bought a new MP and a 50 'Cron a few years ago - I place the blame on RFF

M-E this past summer when they lowered the price.

Back in 2000, bought an M6TTL & 50 Lux brand new. Everything else, used.

 

[Jan Pedersen]

Bought an M6 new 30 years ago and a new M246 last year.
Only one of my 7 Leica lenses were new, the 90mm Tele Elmarit (1913-1983)

 

[zauhar]

Not yet.

If I feel the need for a digital camera, the new SL and it's giant lens would be a nice choice. I say that mostly based on the sample images I have seen, which grabbed my attention (unlike the Sony Mark II that everyone is so excited about).

Wouldn't it be sad if I had the money to buy it, and then still found myself packing around the old M3? ;-)

It is completely out of the question price wise and I have lost interest with Leica's digital turn. I do enjoy my 50+ year old Leica equipment though.

 

[Austerby]

50 Summilux ASPH
75/2 Apo-Summicron
28mm f2.8 Elmarit

The first two sold for more than I paid for them.
