This why some lenses are in short supply. Lenses are done in batches and the less popular lenses have to wait their turn in the queue. Increase production capacity you say? Leica sells into a niche market that is very vulnerable to the worlds economic conditions. The Asian flu just about put the current Leica management out of business. Leica lenses require precise assembly and cannot be mass produced without a significant lowering of quality.
