Thus a Cadillac would be a market success if it outsells Lincolns and Lexuses even though Chevys and Fords sell in much much larger volume than Cadillacs, and a Chevy isn't a market success just because it outsells Cadillac, the Chevy has to outsell Ford and Toyota. Regarding Leica, the S2 will be a market success if it sells well compared to Hasselblad and Mamiya medium format digital systems. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 12/19/10 4:34 AM, "Frank Dernie" <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> wrote: > Sounds like bollocks to me.
