We will probably never know what he real financial picture is on the lenses,
new or old.

But we definitely agree that making a lower priced line keeps new users
thinking about purchasing new rather than used, and it does bring in a new
clientele.  

The M8 is a success, but it only means something as long as they are selling
to it new users that buy more lenses.  They make money from lenses, not
digi-cameras / any camera.  ( yes, controversial).

Now if they would just get up off their &^^%$ and offer the greatest R
lenses in mount for N or C or 4/3, THEN they can make even more money.

In the meantime, I will enjoy my M6TTL and my M lenses, as well as my Nikon
F4 with a Telyt adapter.

Oh, did I forget to include the word FILM?
