Well, Sonny, if you decide that your photographic objectives are best met by
Leica, you better try keeping them solvent. I think it will get more
difficult for them unless they move production to Asia. They should do what
Nvidia does, become a design house, and get others to manufacture their
products to whatever tolerances they want. In that case a lot more money can
go into R&D. As they are structured at present, and at their size, it looks
bleak IMHO. If the world economy does slide, they could be wiped out.
Cheers
