It seems to me that the real problem is under capitalization, bad engineering, bad design, and bad management. None of these problems should ever have happened, and would not have happened if Leica management was living up to the Leica reputation of excellence. A perfect R8 motor should have been on the shelves and sold with the first production R8. Anything else is just bullshit excuses from inadequate Leica management. Stephen Gandy
