Change to Leica – Leica SL System Trade-In Program

How does this program work?

Trade in an eligible camera body toward the purchase of a new Leica SL2 or SL2-S system and receive an additional voucher credit in addition to the trade-in value. Visit the Terms and Conditions page to review eligible camera bodies. To generate a Trade-in Voucher for your eligible camera, please visit the Change to Leica page. Vouchers will be delivered electronically. Next, contact your nearest Leica store, boutique, or authorized dealer. Use our Dealer Locator to find your nearest Leica retailer. The dealer will evaluate your equipment and make you an offer.

Why did I receive fourteen (14) vouchers?

There are currently fourteen serialized products in the SL System lineup. A voucher represents approximately 10% off the retail price of an SL System item (body, lens, or bundle). The fourteen vouchers will show how much can be expected in addition to the trade-in value for each SL System item you may be interested in purchasing. Once an eligible item is traded in, the first voucher must be used on either an SL System body, or an SL System bundle (SL2 or SL2-S body with 24-70mm Vario-Elmarit-SL f/2.8 ASPH. lens). The remaining vouchers may be used for subsequent SL-System purchases without additional trade-ins. Subsequent items purchased using voucher(s) can be individual SL lenses. Please see our Terms and Conditions.

Is my voucher amount the total I will receive for my trade-in?

No. After the participating Leica retailer has received and evaluated your trade-in item(s), you will be made an offer. Should you accept the dealer’s offer, the voucher credit will be applied in addition to the dealer’s offer, and the total will be deducted from the purchase price of the SL2, SL2-S, or either of the SL System bundles.

I have item(s) I want to trade-in, but they are not eligible items. Can I still get the voucher?

Unfortunately, no. The vouchers are issued for eligible items only. To see a list of eligible items, visit the Terms and Conditions page. You may still trade in non-eligible items. Contact your local Leica retailer to begin the trade-in evaluation process. Use our Dealer Locator to find your nearest Leica retailer.

I am interested in purchasing an SL lens. Can I use the voucher on a lens purchase?

The first voucher must be used to purchase an SL System body or bundle. Subsequent vouchers may be used for lens purchases. You may also trade in eligible items toward a lens purchase, but the voucher will not apply to the purchase price. Please see our Terms and Conditions.

Does Leica set the trade-in value of my eligible camera?

No. Pre-owned equipment value will be determined by the dealer you choose to do business with. Each dealer will perform their own evaluation and market analysis to determine an offer for your eligible item(s). The voucher will be applied in addition to the dealer’s offer.

I am not sure which SL Camera I would like to purchase. Do I have to decide at the time I generate the voucher?

No. You may decide which camera you would like to purchase at the time of the transaction. You will need the voucher for that specific item, however. Use our Dealer Locator to find your nearest Leica retailer.
