Where to buy used Leica M mount lenses?

LR admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 03:06:16 +0000

Those are the places I check when I am looking for used M mount lenses:

Refurbished Zeiss ZM lenses at B&H.

Used Leica M lenses at B&H.

Used M mount lenses at Adorama.

Used Leica lenses at Dale Photo & Digital.

Not many people know that, but Amazon has many listings for used M lenses as well.

KEH also offers a selection of used Leica M lenses.

PopFlash Photo always has a good selection of used Leica glass.

Classicconnection.com currently has 29 used Leica M lenses.

Collectiblecameras.com has a wide selections of used Leica products.

Photovillage.com - there is no dedicated used section, you will have to go through all Leica listings to see the used products.

Acephoto.net currently has only few used Leica M lenses.

Check also Shopgoodwill.com - you may get lucky.

And of course there is eBay.

Here are some more links from the comments section:

Leica SIS in Palm Beach has some B-stock Leicas for sale. My understanding is that B-stock items are refurbished by Leica and are sold with full 1 year warranty. The price is generally 10% off the MSRP:

Leica 21mm 1.4: $5890
Leica 28mm f/2.8: $1795
Leica 75mm f/2.0 $3095
Leica M9: $6295
Leica X1: $1795

If you are interested, the contact info is: phone (561) 253-2606, email: info8@ProshopForPhotographers.com

Various Sony NEX E-mout to Leica M adapters are already available on eBay. Don't like to shop on eBay - Cameraquest also has the Voigtlander Nex Lens adapters in stock.

PDNPulse has an article about the Chineses website www.leica.org.cn that is allegedly publishing work of photographers without their knowledge or permission. Leica representative confirmed that the site is not associated with Leica Camera AG. Some of the published photos are from Phillip Toledano, Steve McCurry, Marcus Bleasdale, Annie Marie Musselman, Robbie Cooper, Kosuke Okahara, Dominic Nahr and Michal Chelbin. The site is pushing also their own iPhone app that contains copyrighted images. An Austrian store and WestLicht Auction are listed as sponsors of the site.

Rumors started floating about a Leica X1 firmware update that will bring improved auto focus speed.

New 35 Summilux lens: B&H will soon start taking pre-orders and Amazon product listing says "usually ships within 1 to 4 weeks".

Interesting: somebody tried to reproduce on of the famous Cartier Bresson's photographs.

Lomography sells Russian Leica copies.

Half frame Leica cameras are very rare. Here is a Leica M4-P that currently selles for $22.995. More info on half frame Leicas is available here.

Good deal (Leica eBay madness)

LR admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:00:16 +0000

Update: this eBay listing may be a scam - the picture is the same as the Leica in the auction in Vienna (thanks for the tip Oliver).

Few months ago, at WestLicht Photographica Auction in Vienna, a Leica M4 Olive (Bundeswehr edition) camera sold for EUR 87,600 (USD 124,000).

Today, a similar camera just sold on eBay for USD20,0000. Somebody got a good deal

It seems that this Leica collection is still not soldÂ for USD 35,000 (was already listed on eBay few months ago):
