I'm very interested if the new M 10 will generate a lot of buyers.

I think the M10 will be very successful. It's lovely to hold and is in many ways a nice update to the M240. Weirdly, I think people who like the 240 generation of cameras will probably really like the M10. It's an M6/M7/M4-sized camera that has much higher ISO capability than the 240...if you like the latter, you'll likely love the 240 I suspect.

It just takes time, the incubation period of GAS varies.

 

This time the M10 GAS is very quick and subtle

I think my wife will put me in quarantaine.

I wonder if the average age will buy it?

As a collector who has Always scrutinized with interest the numbers made for each Leica camera from the model A... well I confess that would like REALLY A LOT to have the figures of bodies made for each digital M : Leica surely has those numbers... unfortunately, seems it is a very well "protected" information...
