[Leica] Selling like Hotcakes....?

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

The Titaniums were only a one off with just 500 made. Apparently a handful
of that handful are still available at dealers or a few get get traded
around after the initial purchase up by (presumably) collectors or for
anticipated profit.

Something like 20,000 plus normal M9's sold so far to people that most
likely just want to use them and they have only just caught up with demand
now. The best selling M for a long time if not ever. I don't know about
M3,2,4 numbers in the 50's 60's etc but Leica Camera have sold nearly twice
as many M9's as M7, MP and M8 combined annually (12-13,000) while the M8 was
in production.

Cheers
Geoff
