Do they have a just-in-time stocking model for camera and lens spare parts? Or do they plan ahead for expected demand several years out? If the latter, (which makes sense in terms of batch orders of limited run items from suppliers) then we should be ok for a while. I believe various EU and other jurisdictions stipulate that sellers need to have a two year supply of spare parts after an item ceases production?
