Possibly.  But remember we're looking for volume here.  I'd bet that
Minolta's overall installed base is much, much larger than the Leica R.
Overall numbers would be more interesting in considering the business case
than just pros, who are a relatively small group.

That would be a mistake, since Leica has a larger installed base among pros
than Minolta.

Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.
