You could still find one is a photoshop nearby. If rangefinder photography was in our soul then it could be discovered either through an acquaintance or at a local shop. Now, finding a Leica in a shop is almost impossible for most and it is analoge which is definately not interesting. For Leica to survive as other than a very niche producer then it will first have to provide digital products that are genuinely unique and then work on getting its products out into the public so people can actually use them.
