For comparison, here is the original Leica Noctilux M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH lens that is selling for crazy amounts on eBay (three years ago, a similar lens was sold at B&H for $20k):
Today Leica Camera released two new Leica SL2 lens bundles in the US:
Both bundles are priced at $10,795 – you get a savings of $1095 for the 50mm kit ($5,995 + $5,895 = $11,890) and $695 for the 24-90 kit ($5,995 + 5,495 = $11,490).
The new Leica SL2 bundles should also be soon available at PopFlash, Leica Miami, Tamarkin, and Classic Connection.
The new Leica Summicron M 28mm f/2 ASPH Safari edition lens that was announced back in February is now shipping (limited to 500 units worldwide) and Leica Store Lisse got the first lens already:
Kolari Vision informed me that they are now repairing corroded Leica M9 CCD sensors for around $1,000. This is good news and timing because Leica recently discontinued their M9 CCD sensors replacement program. Here are the details from Kolari Vision:
For a limited time, all caps, pins, and tins are on sale for $20 with free international shipping at the Leica Rumors Store (lowest price so far):
Update: the sale is now over.
To take advantage of this sale, order directly from the LR store (limited quantities, while supply lasts). Everything in the Leica Rumors Store, including the TTartisan, 7artisans lenses, and the camera grips comes with free international shipping.
