Why is the Leica SL 24-70 selling for such LOW prices new

[rollsman44]

I see some are selling for 2895. and some for 2100. Is it Grey market or ? Thanks

The 24-70, not the 24-90, right? Those would be ridiculous prices for the latter. Or is the question why Adorama has it for 2195 and BH for 2895. That’s a mystery.

Yes. Cant understand that. Normally it could be refurbished or Grey market

The one I saw on Adorama for $2,195 was used - it is gone now, they have new for $2,895, which is MSRP. I've seen them selling used for about $2,195 to $2,395 depending on box, condition, warranty left.

Thank you. I had one person telling me that they could get a new one 2100.00 It must be Gray market. I would think so

maybe because it is a rebadged Sigma lens.....

^What Peter said...it's a Sigma lens. Not that there's anything wrong with Sigma, they make some good lenses! But some people really like Leica lenses on their Leica bodies.
