11% will purchase it so far – I am really surprised – I expected this number to be much lower. The S2 can have a huge impact (positive or negative) on an already shaken-up company like Leica, that’s why I was curious of the potential success of the S2.
Final price will likely depend on how high or low the Japanese Yen will go, relative to the Euro.
Will it be assembled by Leica in Germany.
Will the sensor be made in Germany?
Will the autofocus sub assembly be made in Germany?
Will the metering sub assembly be made in Germany?
Will the CF card reader/writer sub assembly be made in Germany?
Will the LCD be made in Germany?
Will the finder optics be made in Germany?
Will the mirror box assembly be made in Germany?
Will the AF mirror assembly be made in Germany?
Will the Lithium battery be made in Germany?
Will the battery/camera/lens power management assembly be made in Germany?
Will ALL the body moldings be made in Germany?
Will the screws used to hold the body together be made in Germany?
Will the memory/cache system assembly be made in Germany?
Will the control software be made in Germany?
Will the video sub assembly be made in Germany?
Will the output processor sub assembly be made in Germany?
Will the lenses be made with Germany made glass (shott)?
Will the lenses be made in Germany?
The prior American boss (came from Best Buy of all places) at Leica
spent a lot of time traveling visiting manufacturers in Germany or in Japan?
What percentage of this camera will be made using made in Germany parts?
Will the actual camera packaging be made in Germany?
If your dropping say $10 to $20K, do you care?
Thanks, I got it now – they are probably guessing the price, since Leica has not released it yet, unless they have inside info – converted to US$ = 7297.23

If I were in the market for a medium format digital camera, I’d be interested. But it depends on how much the lenses cost.

for 20 000 I can get an Hasselblad, I’ll never buy a S2 for that price, for 12 000 maybe
and I don’t want that stupid 3:2 format
What do you think about this – http://www.fotoveikals.lv/?p=productsMore&iProduct=1670
it`s Latvian internet shop and this price there – 3999 LS is aproximately 8000 $!
Nikon D3x price was in this shop already when it was not released yet so I think the price will not be 20`000 $!
what is that suppose to be – there is nothing on that link
