At one point he says that they blew 2M Euros on the 2 filter M8 deal...

Let's see..... 5,000 M8 made ( I think that is right, but someone correct me
if it is different)
2M Euros divided by 5,000 = 400 Euros per 2 filters........

Sounds like either there are 50,000 Leica M8 made ( basis is 20 Euros per
filter ( x2) wholesale, including management and handling fees)  Which
sounds too high.
40 EUROs per filter (x2) = 25,000 M8 cameras.... still too high, I
think...... and I think the filters, on average, cost less than 40 Euros
wholesale each in lots of 50,000.

Not sure what this all means, but at least my math is still accurate ( at
the 3rd grade level!)
