A quick update on my previous post: registration and bidding are now open for the upcoming Tamarkin Rare Camera Auction that will take place on Saturday, November 12 in New Haven, Connecticut. You can register directly here, the catalog can be downloaded here.
You can still buy this “exclusive” refurbished Leica M9-P camera with black ostrich leather and 1 year warranty at Meister Camera in Germany (locations in Hamburg, Berlin and Munich).
In the US, the M9 has been sold out for few months now, but you can still get a brand new Leica M-E on eBay for $4,484.69. On the used market M9 cameras sell for under $3,000 – check out the current listings at Amazon, B&H, Adorama and KEH.
