Seems to me Leitz hasn't been involvd with Leica for years. And the Leitz
name was used on other than cameras for years as well as the cameras. You
expect people steeped in marketing to no play of a name associated with
quality - I might add among a select few in the world. For most people it
means nothing except some camera "they used to make back in WWII."
