hmmmmmmm?

I don't think so. Leica and Olympus are in the same league, as far as the sales
go.
As far as B&H is concerned, they must do better with Olympus than Leica, given
the number of lenses they list for Olympus. Adorama Camera in its catalog lists
more Leica R lenses than B&H in its monthly newsletter.
I checked a Japanese counterpart to B&H on their web site to see how they are
handling. Previously there was nothing of Olympus cameras in the manual-focus
SLR section. Now I saw the OM2000 with/without a lens is listed. They must sell
pretty well as it said their stock was low. B&H has better prices for the
OM2000.
BTW, I also checked their Olympus digital camera listing. Yodobashi's price
for the new Camedia 1400XL (620L in the US) is pretty good, I calculated about
$748, with an exchange rate of 120 yen to the dollar.
