Atleast it is more fun. Well, there was a question by someone at the LeicaCard meeting in Wetzlar last week, whether, after hearing the rather disappointing R and M sales during last fiscal year and Q1 of the new year, the increase in financial turnover had not more to do with the increased sales prices than with more volume of gear being sold. The Leica spokesman was quick to point out that, although increased prices were part of the picture, more volume in sold gear also contributed to the figures!
