[Leica] M8: "I think it's gonna be all right"

[walt at waltjohnson.com (Walt Johnson)]

Larry,

I  hope the M8s do well in the marketplace. If they fail to gain enough 
appreciation then Leica might go down the tube. If that happens the 
price of good used film M's will skyrocket.  Don't resist, don't 
hesitate,, go grab that gorgeous new M8.
