according to CIPA, the Japanese camera industry body for statistics and some
standards, Japanese manufacturers made 1,610 large and medium format bodies
this year up to the end of June and shipped 3,575 bodies. the difference is
made up of bodies sitting in warehouses waiting to be shipped since last
year. i don't know how many Hasselblad and Rollei bodies shipped in the same
time period, but i would seriously doubt that it was a lot more than these
figures. that's the market that the 645D is headed into.

This scenario is not unique to Leica - any maker has a similar
problem. The long term on Contax at this time is very cloudy.
