Photojournalists, many (if not most) who wish they had Leicas. If someone
could come out with a manual rangefinder that didn't cost near as much, but
gave the same basic functionality, and optical quality (or even a bit less)
they would sell like hotcakes. 

As it is, I'm surprised by how many photojournalists use Leica M cameras.
More than I would have guessed.
