For the very first time the new Panasonic-Leica 25mm f/1.4 lens is in Stock at Adorama (Click here). For the normal $599 price! Until now the lens was only in Stock on [shoplink 25947 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] for $699 and at Amazon (Click here) for over $800.
P.S.: And if you are can accept to pay $80 more than the normal price than you can get the Olymps 45mm f/1.8 lens too on [shoplink 25948 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

I canceled my pre-order with J&R and ordered on from Unique Photo on Monday. Received it yesterday! It’s great so far.
Good! I’ve had them on backorder from them since June- hopefully one of them is mine!
YES!!! Just got an e-mail telling me it has been packed and will be shipped at the end of the day!
thats a good looking lens, i hope panny stays with black for its leica lenses and doesnt decide to go silver on us.
also compare the font to the new x lenses, so much nicer on this lens series
@Admin
The lens has been available for quite some time in the US from Samy’s and H and B digital. Your statements were a bit misleading. I understand that you get kickbacks from certain retailers and not others. However, you still need to report accurately where it is available.
Just change the “Until now the lens was only in Stock on eBay (Click here) for $699 and at Amazon (Click here) for over $800.” to “previously the lens was in Stock on eBay (Click here) for $699 and at Amazon (Click here) for over $800.”
Well, here in Germany you can buy it in most stores (off-line), which I atually did last week. Hence, not SO hot news 😉
dont be an idiot. the admin was right. this lens was no where to be found by ANY Major retailers!!! it was only available for independent and third party sellers in the US. I would know! ive been checking amazon, adorama, for FREAKIN EVER! and had a pre order for Freakin ever! i finally found one at some independent camera store that i called in, and they told me they only had two in stock, and that was it!
i dont know where you are from…. but the leica lens is not easy to find. and still isnt.
In europe its everywhere…ive had mine for nearly month and a half.
Thanks for calling me an idiot. As I wrote “here in Germany” it is not too hard to guess, where I am from. And here it is everywhere. Well, we certainly have to pay 25% more than you do…
I think you are right, another example is the leica m module for the ricoh mirrorless..i ordered it one week ago from Foto Gregor and got it within 4 days, while other countries marked it as not available yet
i wasnt talking to you dummy… duh

I am hoping to purchase this as my kit lens on the front of my Panasonic GF7! 🙂

Just bought it today.It was a “DEMO” in a local Amsterdam shop out of the center for 425 euro. Was planning on ordering online. But this was just to sweet to be true. And it’s pretty good on my e-p3.

Some shots with it just when my e-p3 actually broke. It gave sd card errors with every single card i tried (exept a 2 year old slow 8gb card). Had to send it in to Olympus hope it won’t take too long!!!! 🙁
On ebay there is 45mm 1.8 for $399 with Free Shipping from S.Korea

a lot of people already bought from there
Nelson…thanks so much…this is a link you don’t see. I ordered my today…I get B&W filters from Hong Kong all the time. I just don’t see how these guys make a profit shipping it to the US for free.
Thanks, Admin. Just ordered. Not many samples available in Australia yet, and the $$$ are better from Adorama even with shipping, and exchange fluctuations 🙂
