It's known in marketing that "lost Leaders" are a big gimmick to get customers in the store, and they nearly always end up buying far more than they planned, so the result of selling an R8 body for $500.00 means (some economic cost recovery) and there would be more income available incentive to purchase an extra lens or two. They're still not bright enough to see it, even at a function like the LHSA convention. Or at my Leica seminar/workshop next month in Kennebunkport, Maine. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
