![]() These are just the big ticket items, but hundreds of other products are going up as well. At Leica Store Miami, pre-increase pricing will be honored on any in-stock item up until March 31st, 2021.īelow is a breakdown of affected serialized products and their corresponding price increases. If you are interested in purchasing at the current pricing, you can do so while supplies last. The good news is that Leica is giving everyone a couple weeks notice here. Looking at their public statement, you can see that a 10% weakening of the USD is partly to blame, although it’s worth noting that Leica is adjusting prices globally, not just in the US market. Like many premium manufacturers, Leica has a history of small, incremental price adjustments to keep pace with inflation, currency fluctuation, and the ever rising cost to produce hand-crafted, high-precision cameras and lenses. Recently introduced products like the Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams, APO-Summicron-SL 28mm f/2 ASPH, and APO-Summicron-M 35mm ASPH will not see any increase, as pricing was adjusted prior to market release. This makes sense since both cameras were exempted previously from multiple rounds of increases. Some items will see larger jumps, like the SL2 and Q2, which are going up $600 and $500 respectively. ![]() This translates to a $100 to $200 price bump on the majority of M, SL and TL lenses. ![]() The amount will vary on a per-product basis, averaging about 2-5% for most items. While impacting nearly every current product, the increases are not uniform across the board. Today, Leica has announced an upcoming price increase going into effect April 1, 2021. ![]()
