On the other hand, I'm thinking on Solm's East Asia losses of almost 50 percent during the last 3 months, the introduction of the M6-0.85, and the current perfection of the M series by the intro of the new 75 and the expected APO 90. Solms needs a little pushing and could rush the M series selling ciphers, if they'd allow a temporarily limited 90 mm advantage. Maybe, they may even put a little pressure on the Contax ciphers. Or is it completely absurd from economical standpoint ?
