S CMS News TradeUp

New customer programme for LEICA S lenses

The Leica S-System central shutter lens trade-up programme offers Leica customers an opportunity to trade up their used Leica S lenses without central shutters for Leica S lens models with the same focal length but featuring a central shutter. Customers pay only the difference between the price of their lens and the corresponding CS lens model. The purchasing price of the lens presented for exchange is subtracted from the price of the CS lens without any deductions for wear and tear. Thanks to this programme, LEICA S2 users gain extra flexibility and can exploit all the benefits of the dual shutter capabilities of this professional camera system: They can work with an S2, try a focal length of their choice and, as soon as the CS equivalent is available, simply exchange their used lens for the new CS version of the lens. This way they reap a double benefit from a new Leica lens.
