My friend had worked for Leitz in Wetzlar and was a very proud
person. He thought that the marketing of the stuff was a putdown.
He believed that Leitz (Leica) should put their energy in making
cameras and lenses for creating photographs. This other stuff
created a circus, perhaps good business, but also against his
"religion". Ed
