The usual April prices hikes are expected. Such is life. One personal bright spot is that the body-only SL3-S is not on the list.
The ones I hate to see are the quite steep M-A and MP increases, because I reach age 65 this year, and might want to be kind to myself, with a new film M, rather than an SL, but would rather wait until September or October, to buy. Regardless, I will not be able to act until the last business day of March, anyway, by which time little to nothing will likely be in-stock.
On the other hand, I have only bought one Leica M camera new, that being my original M10. I have only bought one Leica M lens new, that being my Re-Edition Steel Rim. So, I am accustomed to pre-owned self-gifts.
I just realized that the price jump is March 13, not March 31st. So, alas, I will be unable to buy anything, before the prices increase. Just as well; I have other priorities.
Notably, CameraQuest is running a Voigtlander sale, at the moment.
