R10dreamer Posted July 12, 2009 Share #41 Posted July 12, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I agree. A low price drives market take-on. The biggest market introduction problem that needs to be tackled is market adoption of the new format: housing, flange/bayonet. If there is a slow adoption, there will be losses, fast adoption has over and over shown to provide a superior ROI in many percents. Compare new car models: the dealers will discount just to have it seen on the streets and succesfull. Note that there is another option for getting a lower price, which is a lower cash outlay because of a trade-in discount the dealer gets. In fact, I myself jumped on the M8 because the dealer gave me more than expected for my M6. Then afterwards I took the decision to also go for newer lenses and laid out a similar amount as first And having more than one source for the lens will also prevent those afraid of having to pay $ 12.000 for a CS macro lens from looking elsewhere. If they can buy a converter to a non AF 6x6 or 645 lens - they will be happy of course! Then in due time, they will come in the shop. Just marketing thoughts. The S2 as-is discussed is way beyond my budget! alberti I honestly don't think Leica could keep up with demand if they price the S2 at $8,000.00 US. Their production capabilities would be over matched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
