Leica Prices Increasing on May 1st!

John Tworsky

 

On May 1, 2018 Leica is increasing prices on a wide range of products by an average of about 5%. Affected products include most M bodies (film and digital), nearly all M lenses, the black Q, TL2, S (Typ 007), many S lenses and a few other items (66 in total). To quote Leica “this revision is necessary due to the current exchange rates and the increase in raw materials and production costs.” This does make sense, as every year about this time we tend to see some increases, designed to reflect the ever-rising costs involved with manufacturing hand-built products from exotic, expensive materials.
 
There are no increases within the SL-system, and recently announced products such as the Thambar-M 90mm, Noctilux-M 75mm, and CL are not affected. If you were thinking about the M10, best to grab one before months’ end as the price is going up $400. The black Q sees an increase of $245 (making it the same price as the silver Q) and TL2 bodies go up $245 as well. If you have any questions feel free to call or stop by the store and we will be more than happy to help.

Leica R-Adapter L for the SL System

John Tworsky

LEICA R-ADAPTER L

leica-r-adapter-l

Leica Camera is pleased to introduce the Leica R-Adapter L, an adapter which enables the use of 43 different R-lenses with the SL camera. This wide range of legacy Leica lenses that are now compatible with the Leica SL date back to 1976, and are once again usable with a modern Leica thanks to this new adapter. With this adapter mounted on the SL camera, the adapted R-lens maintains its original focal length. For instance, a 35 mm R-lens remains a 35 mm on the SL.

The Leica R-Adapter L cannot read the selected aperture set on the lens. Instead, the camera uses the same technology to estimate the aperture as with M-lenses mounted via an adapter. This adapter is only compatible with the Leica SL camera. Leica single-lens reflex lenses manufactured before
1976 should not be mounted to the R-Adapter L, as this can cause damage to the mount. The Leica R-Adapter L is available for sale from July 21, 2016.
