Leica will raise most of their US prices on May 1st. I do not have the full list, but here is what to expect:
- Leica M10: up by $300
- Leica M Typ 262: up by $200
- Many of the Leica M10 accessories are going up in price as well, for example the M10 thumb support is going up by $45
- Leica 007 Typ 007: up by $1,700
- Most of the Leica M lenses (except the Summarits) are going up by $100, here are a few examples:
- Leica Summaron 25mm f/5.6: up by $100
- Leica Elmarit 21mm f/3.4: up by $100

Update: see this post for the full/new price list.
If you haven’t noticed yet, prices of photo gear have been going up for a while now and will continue to do so as the industry continue to shrink. If you are planning to buy a new Leica camera, lens or accessory, I recommend you place an order before the end of this month:
