First time I have heard that number..... 5000 is a pretty successful number 
for Leica....you would have thought they would habve understood what that 
meant.....and made appropriate plans.....

5000 may be a first goal for the S2.....I would think it was successful if 
they sold that many....

Note:  5000 cameras at 3 lenses per camera = 15000 lenses.  @ 5K each, that 
is $75,000,000.  Assume they sold that many a year.....If they are shipping 
100 M9's a day, that is $700,000 per DAY in revenue.... The S2 is a 1% or 
less number....

Yes, I know Leica does not get to keep the whole retail revenue stream.... 
just make appropriate corrections in your mind....

5000 units had been manufactured. Sounds
