I even got a little heart palpitation when I saw the hand assembly of the lenses. Of course the red dots are fitted by hand too. The production figures were higher than I expected. Still it seems that the LUG as a group has absorbed two whole days of M8 production! That's 450 Leica employees we kept in sauerbraten und kartoffeln for that time. Not too bad. I bet we do way better on lenses and other M bodies. We must have 5% of the Noctis ever made for a start ;-) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] Video on Leica from DW TV Mr. Kaufmann shows up in the video and talks about making customer driven products. The commentary states that Leica makes 1000 M8's and (still) 500 film bodies per month.
