Last year, Leica warned photographers to expect delays when ordering the Leica M, telling dealers this was triggered by ‘enormous demand’.
Though the Leica M went on sale in early 2013, the firm says ‘international demand outstripped production capacity’, and it was
‘available only by order with a waiting time’.
The Leica M is a 24-million-pixel rangefinder camera with live view, HD video and an optional EVF.
The £5,100 camera was announced at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany in September 2012.
