[Leica] 3rd time a charm?

[dorysrus at mindspring.com (Don Dory)]

Interesting that the serial numbers have not hit 2000 yet.  Canon is
rumored to produce in excess of 110,000 digital Rebels a month.  I
believe this perspective on relative production numbers put rangefinders
in perspective, and why the Konica RF is gone.  Pretty amazing that
Leica is still in business at all with such low production.

Richard,
        I just got back mine today. The CCD was scratched on my old one
(I 
think my fault). They replaced the camera at no charge. My original 
serial number was 00175X the new is 00193X.
Cheers,
Chris
