In the better days (2001/2002), our business would do better than that in one day alone. Leica sales have gone down since, but Canon sales have rocketed. If one thinks the waiting list for the M 50/1.4 ASPH is long, one should see that for the Canon 1Ds Mk II. It's a US$7,700 camera and we just can't get enough of it. Let's hope Matsushita will put Leica back on the road to recovery.
