michael_b._elmer Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 See news at http://www.leicabeimeister.com about "Photokina Verl䮧erung", where the above mentioned subject is listed just below the new digital modul for Leica R that will be presented at Photokina. Does anybody know what this is all about??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socke Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 So I can buy my new Ferrari from Tamsen and a new Leica from Meister at the same place? Sounds good! I have give Heiner a call so he can fly my to Hamburg, the A1 from Bremen to Hamburg is to crowded for the Bentley :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippe_vandenbroeck Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I heard from someone who very recently attended a Leica presentation in Brussels that soon customers will be able to order extensively customised Leica Ms. Mixes and matches of different viewfinders, brightlines, finishes, leather coverings, engravings, types of transport handle, etc. will be possible. At a premium of course ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiba Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Better be careful ordering that M Panda in future... ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidom Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 What Philippe said. I happened to be at Leica bei Meister a few days ago and that was what one of the salesmen told another customer who had asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_michel Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 this was announced (and discused here) last spring. i think it is a fine idea -- why not if they will sell a few more cameras?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy_baker Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Roger, have you got the link? I tried searching for it, but no luck :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_michel Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 i will try to find it. perhaps the discussion i am recalling was on the LUG. anyway, my recollection is that i first heard about this concept back in april or may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_michel Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 tried a few searches and can't find it either. will check the LUG archives. i did call my local dealer and he confirms that he heard about the idea "at the beginning of the summer."

tommy_baker Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 just let me know when you find it. sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucien1 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The Leica M "a la carte" program will start in November with selected dealers. I saw few trying models like an MP with M4 rewind lever and classical engraving. And also the 50th anniversary M7 Ti with its Ti 50/1,4 Asph. Not as bad as expected. A nice grey finish.

nathan_dandar Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Isn't this just the digital back for the R9 that they've been talking about forever now? <p> <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/news/0306/03062502leicadigitalr9.asp">Look at the article here</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucien1 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Yes, we handle it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy_baker Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Lucien, Are they allowing the engraved Leica script to be engraved? they did not allow this in the past, just personal names. Also could you order an engraved leicavit? Is this only for new special order cameras, or can you also send in old cameras and have bits engraved/changed. How about special order lenses, like a black paint 50/2.0 (like the retro annivesary 50mm summicron in chrome they brought out with 100 units) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy_baker Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Ops. typo, not 100, but 1000 units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
