[Leica] Kodak's possible bankruptcy and the effect on Leica

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Somehow the info on that sale had eluded me. I wonder if they are continuing 
to develop new sensors or will Leica have to start to look elsewhere.
I am mindful of what happened to the supply of sensors for the DMR.
Cheers
Howard
