Save over $1,000 by buying Leica M cameras from Europe (all Leica M film cameras in stock at Meister Camera)

By LR admin | Published: August 4, 2022


As I already reported Leica M film cameras are very hard to find in the US. It seems that this is not a problem for some stores in Europe. Meister Camera in Germany for example currently has all analog/film Leica M models in stock available for immediate delivery (Leica MP, Leica M-A in both silver and black finish):


But wait, there is more…

Meister Camera also ships internationally and with the current EUR/USD exchange rate at almost 1:1, it makes a lot of sense to buy directly from Germany. For example, the Leica MP camera incl. the shipping cost to the US will be around $4,450 (depending on the daily exchange rate). For comparison, the same camera in the US costs $5,695 and it is hard to find. The Leica M-A pricing is very similar. They even have the Leica M11 in stock.

By LR admin | Published: August 3, 2022


Leica Camera released  a new firmware update version 1.5.0.1 for the M11 camera with two bug fixes:

  • Incorrect JPG tone curves in connection with some lenses caused the contrasts in dark areas to be displayed too strong.
  • Non-coded lenses were displayed incorrectly in the user profiles.

The Leica M11 is widely available in Europe. In the US a silver M11 is currently in stock at Adorama:
