What would it take? -----Original Message----- From: Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> Sent: Feb 17, 2005 9:36 AM To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Subject: RE: [Leica] Leica Solms reports 50% loss what does this mean? Yes and no. Deep doo-doo, yes; unhappy stockholders, yes; for sale, ? soon to be no more, kinda, not in its present form. Something must change. Hermes must have lost patience, or is losing patience. Thought... a LUG buyout of Leica. If we were successful..... Marketing would be listening to the various forums to supply it with and respond to customer inputs, Worldwide Passport warranty service with Passport warrantees avbailable WW and serviced WW, no exceptions, I could have an MP with a rational rewind knob, at rational prices instead of gouged prices, Ted could have a Leica digital R body yesterday, Seth could have unlimited special editions in teeny tiny quantities, Doug could have the Canon bodies that Ted no longer needs, We could all have a digital M by contracting Cosina to do the deed. Nikon and Canon mount R Leica lenses would be available tomorrow, AF to follow, No more Null series bodies or other wacko ideas of past glory, that lose money, Others? Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net He said that a salesman at Keeble-Shuchat told him Leica was on the "block" soon to be no more...Does this financial announcement from Solms validate that comment? _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
