Of the course the only ones in Thailand. The next ones in Singapore or Hongkong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FracturedRabbit Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I second AVCamera. A proper camera shop that specialises in Leica and will look after you. Did a great job restoring a couple of old film Leicas for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 In MBK on the first floor (near the Starbucks) there is a camera shop that carries new and used Leica. Also if you come across one that carries the new Q... Post the location & price ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want one at some point in the near future, you'll have to put your name down in a queue for the Q. I added myself to the waiting list at AV and then cancelled after reading reviews and handling one in the Leica store in Singapore (where they also have a waiting list). But then maybe you will get lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FracturedRabbit Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 1. Build quality - Reports from various users with minor problems such as their glasses scratching the viewfinder window and dust on the sensor. In the hand it feels nothing like an M, with plastic construction in various places. Just doesn't feel special enough to justify the price. 2. I decided that 28mm was not really what I wanted to shoot. Rather wait for the inevitable 35mm version; or maybe the Sony RX2 will offer similar for less money. 3. Concerns about warranty - If there are any issues, it would have to go back to Germany. A TV member is going to be waiting 5 months for his M to have the strap lugs refitted.... This, of course, is a concern with buying any new Leica. In the end, I decided I didn't want to get one. Instead, I cheered myself up by getting this: 1959 Leica M3 by Spike Tennyson, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
