Leica M9 - £4900 in the UK.

[leica007]

Seems like, the price of Leica M9 would be £4900. But obviously I cannot divulge the source of my information.

That's $7 grand in the US. Unfortunately, though, it is really meaningless. Only when a price is set where you can actually buy one does it mean anything.

I guess we obviously have to wait two whole days to find out.

 

[leica007]

US price seems to be $7500.

Caveat: according to the source - the Pound price is more probable than the US Dollar price. But in all likelyhood it's going to be $7500.

And I think I will wait, rather than jumping into the fray right now.

Well, the straight conversion [per Xe.com] is $8K - not 7K, but the price might be $7500.

And I was thinking of $7000 ! I am not joining the party right now.

Leica has received a very good response so far from the dealers.

There will be a shortage in the UK - M9s will be supplied in two lots.
First lot available from Thursday and the Second lot coming in 10 days.

That's the great thing about digital depreciation. All we have to do is wait. I'm glad it's not 10.000 Dollars, I guess it wouldn't put as much pressure on M8 prices as 7500 Dollars does.

Martin, as already expressed, I don't know your background etc. M9 would be about 1 1/2 year's salary in my book really too much. On the other hand I'm neither a pro nor make money with photography yet.

$7500. What would the take home price be in New York?

 

[rxmd]

I don't know and nor does anyone else. Why don't you just wait, I don't know, a couple of days?

 

[Silva Lining]

Odd that the exchange difference between the pound and the dollar be recognised - Usually the dollar price is converted directly to pounds (i.e. $7500 = £7500) in rip-off Britain!!

Time will tell

If it meets expectations, one might have to wait quite a while. Of course, that depends on what price point you are waiting for.

That would imply GBP 4900 = USD 4900 and would make a lot of people very happy, I suppose

5400 Euro.. not that bad, I was expecting a price like this.
Couple of years and a used one will be affordable

At least the intertoobes will have something new to bash and kick around come Sept. 9th. That's got to be great news for their sponsors
