[Leica] "Leica Camera has already ceased production of film cameras."

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

For whatever internet opinions are worth this was discussed and disputed on
the L Camera Forum sometime back.
The last statement on this that the head of production, Stefan Daniel made
was when he was interviewed by Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape at
the time of the M9 introdyuction. Here is the interview for anyone that is
interested.

What he said then is that they had more orders for the M7 and MP than they
could supply. He does note that the biggest demand is in Japan.
Very likely they make them in batches as is their normal practice (as with
lenses too) and of course M9 production is still their priority.

If you want one you can order one. If enough customers order them they make
them. Hands up the last person on the LUG who purchased one new?????
Anyone?????


Cheers
Geoff
