Absolutely...and some of them have been snapping up lots of the new, exotic glass that is out there. I'm curious as to what makes one buy into a system they have no prior experience with and start acquiring glass at jaw dropping rates. Yes - Leica does have a reputation for their optics....but the M8 (regardless of what one's opinion is on it) has generated interest and sales for them. The ensuing wackiness we're seeing now with the backfocus issues and other tech problems may dampen that quite a bit.
