Well Doug  has two. I guess some other dedicated users do as well. Some must
have died along the way (DMR's not Dougs) and some are languishing in
cupboards. That makes a pretty tiny pool of users out there world wide.
Maybe a thousand or less. Probably 30 times as many M8's in circulation
(~20xM9's too) and now a used M8 might be say half the price of a used DMR.,
that needs a body too of course.

So those DMR folks are just a dedicated elite sub-set of Leica men. The
Uber-shooters

Cheers
Geoff
