I have 2 sons..... both were "given" M6TTL cameras.  ( Actiually it is 1
camera that was passed down through both of them.)

One has upgraded to a M7 ( he has a wife and kid and fooling with the
metering was causing wedding un-bliss).  He has ordered an M9.  He will
probably sell off his M7 when the M9 arrives.

The other has bought a D700 and will probably not touch his M6 again.

Film for my 2 kids?  Never again.....


To directly respond to your question..... My input would be retirees, Dot
Commers that got out with their skins intact, and the ( unpopular) phrase :
Doctors, Lawyers, and Indian Chiefs.

No one else can afford these things....  Camera + 2 lenses is the same price
as a cheap car...... or as much as a really nice car.....

Would anyone have a demographic breakdown of Leica sales?
