I read it the same way. 30,000 M9's is an awful lot of camera for Leica to manufacture by hand though.

For me, 50 Summilux asph no question.
But I do have a soft spot for the humble 50/2.8 Elmar (no pun intended:rolleyes:)

I don't shoot as much film as I'd like to – several rolls a month maybe – but when I do it's through a IIIf or a BP MP. And a Hexar RF if I'm feeling a bit lazy.:rolleyes:
