From the Newsletter I can not find out what Leica's strategy is. Instead I find details of a much needed rescue operation. I wonder how much of the R&D funding for the last 5 years went into the R and S development, and how much went into the "milk cow" products, the M camera and M lenses. If you see what I mean.
