There is a nice article in today's _Financial Times_ about the Leica IPO
with a picture of Queen Elizabeth using hers and a good deal of detail about
the company, including pro-forma results from 1993/4 through 1998/9
(projected).  They claim that the market for Leica's is people over 50 with
big incomes!
(If I could only find a way to meet the other requirement to be part of
Leica's target market.)

The FT has a good web site at WWW.FT.COM and the article may be available there.
