I suspect that if it weren't for collectors, Leica would have died in the 70s when they sold only a couple hundred M5s one year. Special editions are a good source of income for Leica. And the M6J might be leading to a new rangefinders in the future for the rest of us. The evolution of the 35 Summilux Aspheric seems to warrant some belief that could be the case for other interesting pieces that start life as collectibles. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
