Georges,

Well someone started the R threads by referring to Panasonic gear - do
you think Leica would have survived without working for/with them?
This brings other questions :
What have Leica got to sell today in terms of R ? Their internet site
hasn't even been updated, and they're still "selling" the late DMR...
Has the M8 already covered its development costs? Add to that
after-sales problems and filters  (5000 x 8000 ?)
What else do they sell? the Digilux 3? I don't see many on the streets.
Lenses ; you admitted that you bought yours second hand. If as for
Chris, they came from new Cists or Nists,  where's Leica's profit?

I DK if  company financial reports are public in Germany, and if they
are that much detailed, but I'd be curious to have a look.

BTW: Chris somewhere has a right to go N, all the better for those guys
of us who will buy his glass when he wants more N glass.

We all hope Leica will come up with something, and something up to our
expectations, if not to our banker's satisfaction when we explain him
why. But, the main point maybe that if they didn't, our life-long dreams
would instantly melt, and that I would resent so much, wouldn't you?.

Yours
Phil...x
