Leica must have sent out a new shipment of M9’s. Funny, there seems to have been a new surge lately on M9 sales. For the longest time it was sold out everywhere. Eventually supply caught up with demand a bit but soon the supply dwindled. It seems when the dealers get them in stock they go quick. B&H Photo just posted the black M9 as IN STOCK so if you have been waiting for one, now is the time! Just click here to go direct to the black Leica M9 page. It appears they only have 1 in stock! It also seems the black X1 is in stock once again as well!
Dale Photo also has the black and grey M9 in stock HERE. Dale also has BLACK X1’s as of 1/31/11
Did Leica incorporate the alleged faster AF firmware on the black version of the X1? Or is the firmware still just vaporware?
New FW wont be out until March…from what I have heard.
Thanks for the info Steve. Let’s hope Leica gets it out in time before the X100 starts shipping!
