Leica still makes film cameras!?



Surprise, Surprise! It seems that they still make about a measly 100 to 150 film cameras (mainly M7 and MP) each month to restock their inventory. Everything seems to be shipped in from Portugal and only assembled in Germany. Anyway, at that kind of volume, it's no wonder prices keep going up. With Japan as their biggest market and the fact that Leica has a cult status, how many more Leicas can they sell before the market eventually saturate....

It will be interesting to see if Leica Camera can survive another ten years.

Cheers,
