Leica SL in a 9+ condition (that usually means like new) – $6399. This camera to me is still INCREDIBLE. IN good light, low light and the build and usability with M lenses is perfect for me. The huge picture window EVF means I can manually focus without magnification. The color and richness of this sensor is lovely.  

Don’t pay $7500, save $1100 or so here…

I’ve been tempted by the original Noct for my SL for a long time now. Used to be my fave lens once upon a time in 2003 when I bought a brand new on for $3499. These days, used ones go from $5-7k. This guy is $5899 which sounds insane but it’s priced right for what it is. Check out a very old post of mine here, from 2009 on this lens. 

One of the coolest ultra wides ever, but at a price. This basically distortion free lens is three wide angles in one. It is not a zoom, but you click it into the focal length you want. 16, 18 or 21. For full frame use this is awesome. Not too wide, not too much zoom. If I could afford another M lens, this would probably be it. The color and performance is fantastic. I reviewed this lens on the M9 a LONG TIME ago..see that review HERE from 2009.

The original M8.2! Not a very good body today and low light, forget it. But the M8 was unique and still is as it’s output is as sharp as a razor and it is FANTASTIC for B&W work. Many use this as a B&W camera. Gives more bite than an M9 but also has a 1.3 crop. The M8.2 version is gorgeous. $2299 for an old outdated digital camera but for those who want to reminisce … this one is for you.

My all time favorite 90mm for Leica M. The 90 2.8 Elmarit. Gorgeous build, feel, slide out hood, and the IQ is stunning. For 90mm, f/2.8 is fast enough. See my review from 2010 HERE.

The older pre-asph 50 Lux! More dreamy, more creamy, not as sharp wide open as the ASPH but some prefer it for its gentler ways with portraits. (won;t show every crevice). Lovely lens.

  1. Buy a brand new Leica in Europe, have it shipped and save just about the same amount. Did just that a month ago. EUR/USD exchange rate is very good for us in the US. Leica (or any other digital camera) cameras have no import tax….
