I think it is the latter and Leica Solms can do little about it. Secondly, and here I am preaching my usual tune: I do not understand why French Leica buyers pay these prices. Germany is next door with prices 20-40% lower; there is no exchange rate risk since it is all in Euro now anyway; there are no customs duties or French VAT to pay since both countries are in the EU. So why anybody would cough up 3000 EUR or more in France for an M6 when the same camera can be had for 2500 EUR in any German mail order shop is beyond me.
