100 a day was the stated capacity of the production line when the data was
available..... about introduction time of the M9.....  50 was the production
rate at that time....
What the capacity and rate is today is not documented....

Still, there is a big inventory of cameras in the pipeline, except for the
M8 and M9.  So factory orders will probably stay low for a while, if it ever
really increases....

Yes, I think the Film M's are close to a production historical end.

Long Live the Film M's.......
