Today I decided to finally order a 50mm Summilux as I have been lusting after this lens for a while and now with my new M9 in hand I decided it was time.
So I called my local Leica dealer expecting a 6-12 month wait for one of these babies. The dealer said they just received an order of 50mm Summilux lenses that fulfilled all of the orders on backlog so I would be the first on the waiting list for the next batch.
That's great, I said - how long do you expect before the next batch, I asked? He said about a month - which I thought was great.
About two hours later, he calls me back and says "has it already been a month?" - puzzled, I said "huh?".
Then he says the last guy on the waiting list wanted a silver one and the last lens they had was black so if I wanted a black one, it was mine!
Well that's exactly what I wanted - so now I have my 50mm lux with no wait time - how lucky is that!
I can't pick it up till Saturday but I am stoked - can't wait to get my hands on this lens
