Here you go! The new price list of Leica lenses which take effect Jan 01 2010. Get them now while you can. Many have sold out already! These are USA price changes BTW and are caused by weak performance of the US Dollar vs. the Euro. So, it’s not so much Leica but the dollar.
Below see the lens, the current price and the new price after the new year. Now, I remember last time Leica had the price increase and some dealers still had the old price for a good month or so after the new year, so maybe these will go up right on Jan 1st, or maybe not. But, they ARE going up and not by as much as I expected. It is also good to see some lenses stay the same. I suspect the slow sellers for Leica did not get raised up in price, while the more popular lenses did.
I included the link to B&H Photo after each lens as they have been my photo shop of choice for 14 years! Ok, on to the list…Leica D-Lux 4 going from $699 to $799! – D-Lux 4 at B&H Photo (I also have one for sale with leica brown leather case, in boxes for $625!)

I want to know the latest cost price of Leica MS5 stereomicroscope along with its necessary accessories.
Thanks Steve!
Very useful information.
The price increases could have been a lot higher when you consider the dropping value of the dollar. It appears that Leica made a real effort to keep the price increases to a minimum. I expected increases to be a lot higher. My thanks to Leica for not soaking their loyal followers!
35 1.4 is flaw on the m8 not m9, lucky i got a good one.

only $500 higher for 50mm f0.95.
the funniest is the raise of the 35mm F1.4 which is well known for its focus shift problem …. how can you raise the price of a lens with a conception flaw … amazing.
this is how leica is reacting to succes….i can’t understand such things… i think i will delay my M9 buying forever … that won’t prevent me from taking good pictures…
