It's an Asian shaman thing that's taboo for these numbers. The number "8" is highly regarded, so if its at all possible that the # contains 8s ?" Clearly, the LHSA and its Asian confederates blew it big time by not waiting for the next Leica -- the M8 -- to shake loose their big moneymaker. Can't they just throw cash at Solms and get those stodgy Germans to issue a camera with something like Ein Stueck-type leatherette, but this time studded with hundreds of embossed 8s? With bargain-priced f:8 88mm lenses (they did have a 66mm once upon a time, no?). Hot zigiddy.
