StreetShootr’s Take
This one is puzzling. I’m all for saving money but the perpetually extended rebates and new sales seems to indicate that Leica sees its gear as overpriced. Why not just lower the prices across the board? This being said, if you’re in the market for an M 240, this 12% Leica sale saves you $870 USD compared to last month’s rebate of $750 on the same gear. You can use that extra $120 to (almost) buy an extra battery!
What’s your take on the latest Leica sale? A great time to make the big purchase or a sure sign that Leica’s prices are just too high across the board? Post your ideas in the comments below and keep the conversation going!
