Anyone know where I can pick up an M9 asap? Leaving on a trip the 18th and would love to have it. Probably asking too much but who knows...

Most the M9 threads seem to indicate that they will be in VERY SHORT supply for months as pre-orders are filled.

Best chance is in Europe or Asia, since only 20 M9 bodies arrived in the US this week, and are obviously all sold.

These numbers show that cameras are not leaving the factory as expected. If the production rate is 1000 month (at full capacity and output)....then the USA should get 2-300 month . This week shipment at less than half..shows that an inventory build up prior to the launch may not have been achieved.

Will not change a thing .

The other possibility is that some pre launch batches are being leaked into the market at a rate that allows some beta testing . Would make sense..if anything really bugs the customer base..and only a few hundred cameras out...much easier to manage.

Not like Leica will lose many orders for slow delivery..probably just the opposite.

Marc - I will not be surprised if your PM box fills with offers to take you up on that!

Mine comes tomorrow... just in time for the weekend, and a week long trip. Looking forward to shooting an M again!
