If you are looking to upgrade to the latest and greatest Leica medium format camera, and you already own either an S (Typ 007), S2 / S (Typ 006) or a medium format camera or digital back that has a sensor with 41 megapixels or higher, then you could save up to $4,000+ when trading in for a purchase of the new Leica S3.
This might sound like a rather exclusive deal, and you’d be right – not many have a Leica S medium format camera lying around, nor do they have a Hasselblad or Phase One system collecting dust. However, if you happen to be one of the lucky few and you're after a Leica S3, you can really save yourself some dollars and get that elusive red dot in your collection!
Currently the trade-up values are as follows:
| Camera | Trade-up credit | Leica S3 cost |
|---|---|---|
| Leica S2 / S (Typ 006) | $2,000 | $16,995 |
| Leica S (Typ 007) | $4,000 | $14,995 |
| MF camera/back 41MP+ | $3,000 | $15,995 |
Those who are thinking about trading in their Hasselblad for the Leica system can also benefit from more savings, as Leica will give you a free Leica S-adaptor H – so you can still use all your Hasselblad H glass with your new S3, which is a win-win situation for medium format switchers.
