The Leica S-System central shutter lens trade-up programme offers Leica customers an opportunity to trade up their used Leica S lenses without central shutters for Leica S lens models with the same focal length but featuring a central shutter. Customers pay only the difference between the price of their lens and the corresponding CS lens model. The purchasing price of the lens presented for exchange is subtracted from the price of the CS lens without any deductions for wear and tear. Thanks to this programme, LEICA S2 users gain extra flexibility and can exploit all the benefits of the dual shutter capabilities of this professional camera system: They can work with an S2, try a focal length of their choice and, as soon as the CS equivalent is available, simply exchange their used lens for the new CS version of the lens. This way they reap a double benefit from a new Leica lens.
The Leica S-System central shutter lens trade-up programme is available to existing customers who already own S lenses as well as to new customers who purchase a lens before 20 September 2010. The only requirement for participation in this programme is the registration of the purchased lens with date of purchase in the owners’ area of the Leica S-System website. This is where you can also download the CS Lens trade-up voucher required to take part in this promotion. On presentation of this voucher to an authorised S-System dealer taking part in this promotion before 31 March 2011, the customer receives a new Leica S lens with a central shutter upon payment of the price difference.
Further information is available in the owners’ area of the Leica website.
