The M8 for USD 3135.73 for export but the M8.2 for an astounding USD 5520 for export. Worse, the list price for the M8.2 is almost AUD $11,000!! Lens prices though are totally unpredictable. Get a special and you save a LOT. Buy retail and, well no-one I know can afford to pay the retail prices. I found this example for the Elmarit M 24mm, a superb lens presumably being dropped from the range. Leica 24 mm F2.8M Asph Blk On Special AUD Inc. Tax: $3630.00 AUD Ex. Tax: $3300.00 Export: USD 2277.00 Usually: $7425.00 Usually: $6750.00 Usually: $4657.50 Look what the Elmarit M 24 does on the M8. Take a second to look at the larger versions. I believe I am in love. These are from full frame or very very nearly so. If these do not move you there is no Ansel Adams atom in your soul. Comments very welcome. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/usa/g/ -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] Lens rebates Down Under Leica has announced 15% rebates for all Leica lenses in Australia except the newest four.
