The Wild concern, which finally bought the Leitz family out in the early 1980's, was itself bought out by a Brit firm, Cambridge PLC, in the late 1980's; the Leica camera factory (Solms) management, in turn, bought the factory from Cambridge in 1992 or so. Thus, Leica is actually self-owned again, for all intents and purposes, though they continue to market together with the rest of the Leica group.
