<<

An Ebay listed just listed the first Leica lens I have heard about with

serial number over 4 million..... Just fir fun, 2001-1934 = 68 Years:

divided into 4 Million lenses = 59,000 lenses per year......


About a days' output for Canon?

>>

Actually, they skipped up to 4 million for the new black paint lenses a while 
ago...so I don't think you can take the number so literally.

Of course, the point is taken that Canon/Nikon/Minolta etc. makes a gazillion 
more cameras!

cheers,
Rich
