Leica Price Increase on its Entire Product Line Coming April 1, 2021
Leica has announced it will be increasing the price on its product line by varying degrees, averaging around 2-5% on most items but getting as high as nearly 10% in the case of some of its cameras, starting April 1, 2021.
“Over the past year, the relationship between the US Dollar and Euro has suffered and we have absorbed these costs,” says Leica Camera in its press release announcing the increase. “However, as this continues, we need to adjust our pricing in order to ensure pricing integrity across all Leica subsidiaries and to continue delivering the highest quality of products.”
According to a report, while most products are seeing a small bump in prices, some items are seeing markedly higher jumps. Newer products, such as the APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2.0 ASPH, the Leica D-Lux 7 Street Kit, the Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Leica Q2, and the APO Summicron-SL 28mm f/2 ASPH won’t increase in price, as their prices have already accounted for the increase.
