[Leica] IMG: Latin or Greek

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Len,

My high school Latin doesn't give me much of a clue. The large letters above 
the doorway seem to have a Latin format.  Then I noticed the upper rows of 
lettering, which seem to include a number of Greek letters.

Did you notice the word "Nikon" is included?  Perhaps the Japanese had a 
hand in it.
