Coinciding with Canon's new rebate promotion, Leica is now offering discounts on some of their R- and M-system products. Two vouchers worth $125 will be given to those who purchase any new Leica M lens from October 1 through December 31, 2006. The $125 allows you to upgrade your existing Leica M lenses by adding the 6-bit code (making it compatible with the M8 digital rangefinder).

Leica is also offering a $500 discount on the Leica R9 reflex camera and the Digital Modul R add-on. The Digital Modul R is used to change the R9 from analog to digital. No date was specified for this second promotion. Both promotions are limited to the US and Canada.
