Perhaps this year's raise in the U.S. is particularly noteworthy due to the dollar's decline, but does anyone here happen to know Leica's price increase history?

BTW very envious of the 50mm /0.95! If you decide you don't like it let me know!

I pre-ordered with them over a month ago and still haven't received my steel grey M9. I talked with one of their reps last week and he told me that they were expecting a shipment this week. I sure hope so! Actually, B&H did take pre-orders, but over the phone; however, this wasn’t advertised or announced.
