But my interpretation of the same sentence is different. By "the level of the long-term average", I understood that the sales of R products were just equal to the mean of sales in the past.Nothing alarming because a Leica "white knight" told me that the R8 has a huge potential of development : embodied motor, autofocus, digital back.So I am confident of the future success of a R8 "new" or R9. But presently I prefer to sleep on my 2 old R-cameras : 4s2 and 5. Dominique Pellissier > >
