Many many hundreds. But the people who buy these special editions probably collect them the way some people collect stamps, and probably already have HD+ binoculars. Because if all these special editions weren't selling, Leica wouldn't be making them. Imagine showing up at the races with your expensive green leather binoculars, only to be out done by someone with the red leather edition that cost $10,000. There are people who can afford to live like that. Not me, unfortunately.</p></blockquote><p></p>
