At a broad guesstimate the M9 may be achieving 100 units a day currently and the Leica USA President is estimating that they are 6 to 7 months backlogged currently. Stefan Daniel aready said that they can actually sell more film M's than they are making right now...... but with M9 sales 40% higher than expected and M lenses in much greater demand......... Naturally all of those numbers are simply miniscule in the dSLR scale of things anyway. Very likely Leica is selling more film cameras than most, although I have no idea on Zeiss and Cosina sales for their film rangefinders. If you do want a new M9, M7 or MP maybe you need to talk to your dealer. They certainly aren't discounting them or putting them in their clearance specials..
