And Leica Camera are selling every lens that they can make plus are getting
further back ordered, specifically because the M9 has more than doubled lens
demand.
Maybe they will get now get into their new Wetzlar premises next year since
they are back in the black and I guess that they will have more space and
more capital. But you can't magic wish lots of new skilled technical staff
from nowhere and even the specialised glass takes six months for supply.

Cheers
Geoff
