[Leica] 50mm ZM C-Sonnar

But what volume would they need to make in order to actually sell at a 
profit??
I don't think the market is there to make such a camera feasible. Both Canon 
and Nikon sell their top models at a loss, even though their volume is way 
more than Leica or "Zeiss Ikon" could hope to sell. They have a plethora of 
mass market models selling in vast quantity to fund them. Leica and ZI 
don't, and never could have.
I fear it is just a dream Jan. The Epson RD-1, a super camera IMO, showed it 
made no business sense. So did the R8/9, sadly.
