I want to see Leica continue as a viable company and continue to
produce great specialist kit - hell I might be able to afford some of
it second hand. Viable means not making a loss on each unit sold. I
think we can agree Leica produces some stunning M rangefinders, the
SL2 and glass and maybe we can pass onto more fruitful discussions.
