dayton_p._strickland1 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I've read about the new Leica CM on their website, but have been unable to get an idea of when it will be available and the cost. Has anyone seen one, tried one, own one? How much does it cost and how does it stack up against the Contax T3 or the Ricoh's? Is there a neck strap available? B&H and Adorama don't have it listed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 It will be £697 UK and 1000 Euros in Eurozone (I think) and probably about $600 in USA. It is expected in UK stockists at the end of November. USA stockists I dont know about? Neck strap? Dont care. Contax T3 comparison is only a theoretical exercise at present until lots of people have used both machines side by side. (Unlikely to happen soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuneko Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 From Leica's official web site it appears the new CM has the same lens (6-element, 4-group Leica 40mm f/2.4 Summarit) as the prior Minilux except for having "improved multi-layer coating." Other features are different though. Erwin Puts has a review of the Minilux lens on his site www.imx.nl/ Click on the large LEICA camera icon on the left and go to "Camera Info." The Nippon Camera magazine in Japan has high regards for the T3 lens, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
