According to Chasseur d'Images here in France, it should be around 3160€.Prices are very similar. Cheers.

This was in BJP last Wednesday, 27th Feb. Remember though that RRP's are never charged - the M6 RRP is £1795 but typically it costs £1550.BJP reported the M7 as having a £100 RRP premium on the M6 (as above). Even with the retailers hike to grab 'early adopters', M7 shelf prices in the UK should be around £1699.
The US price will always be lower.

http://www.leicagallery.com/msales.htmThey claim they'll sell the M7 at $2195 USD.

Or £1500! Less than an M6 in the UK.

It is in the shop windows in Germany for 2950 Euros. I walked straight in an bought myself a 21mm ASPH instead.

The hunt ranges all over the world. I predict the lowest prices will be found in...Hong Kong. Any reporters from HK?

This is one instance where it may be wise to buy from Leica USA (here in the US) and get the Passport warranty. I wonder what the non-grey market price will be--probably $2695 for 6 months to a year.I just shot a few rolls with my CLE indoors at a stage show, and it still works perfectly--Quiet, compact, accurate auto exposures and shutter. If it ever breaks and can't be repaired, I'd consider an M7 (unless I could find another CLE that worked!)

what's that in Afgan Rupi's?

In Hong Kong, some retailer said the price of the M7 will be in the region of US$1950. So, I think this is one of the lowest price.

My favorite photo shop in Singapore will sell them for US$1922 or 1350 Pounds Sterling when they get their first few in 2-3 weeks.

Stewart: I like the hint to the Zambia Kwacha in your thread. When I used to work for the german aquivalent of the peacecorp in Zambia (a while back) one Kwacha was worth one british pound!!This tells a lot about the state of world economy, I´am afraid. And we are worrying a lot about cameras and lenses.
But I was missing the Euros: the official price is: EUR 3,000.00
Best wishes
