The Leica M Monochrom camera is now $2,000 off – a bigger saving than the previously available 12% discount (currently available at B&H, Adorama and Amazon). This Monochrom model is already out of stock at many retailers and I believe this is the last clearance sale before this model will be discontinued. Leica announced a new Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) model in April, 2015.
Update: this discount is only for the black Monochrom, the silver version is still at 12% off.
There is a new Leica manual rangefinder style camera app for iPhone called Red Dot Camera. Here are the main app features:

Here is something you don’t see every day – Leica M edition 100 null series set. Leica Store Miami currently has this one out of 25 pre-production M 100 years sets that were produced before the official run of 101 limited edition cameras started. Can be your for $74,500. Here are the details:
This Leica M Set Edition “Leica 100” – Null Series is rarer than rare – part of an “unofficial” 25 pre-production cameras manufactured in addition to the “officially” released 101 sets. It represents a unique opportunity for collectors, investors and Leica enthusiasts alike to own one of Leica’s most celebrated special edition sets of the modern era. This was also the first special edition set to introduce a new lens: the Leica Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH which is currently one of Leica’s most desirable optics. Beautiful to behold with its solid stainless steel construction and unique design, the Leica M Set Edition “Leica 100” is sure to be remembered as one of Leica’s iconic editions.
This set has never been used. The lenses have never been mounted to a body. For sale on consignment, we are able consider reasonable offers. Please note that as a pre-production set, small manufacturing variances are possible when compared to the 101 production sets.
Originally, 101 sets were made, with edition numbers from 1914-2014. However, an additional 25 “Null Series” sets were produced but not made available to the general public. These sets were given a number out of 25. This set for sale is number 24 of 25. The edition number appears on both camera bodies and each lens.
