Subject: [Leica] Leica - collaboration with Minolta, then Konica?

Can someone tell me the story of how Leica started collaborating with
Minolta (CL, R-camera), and then ended up having M-compatible
Konica appearing on the market?  Did the Minolta collaboration go sour?
Does Konica meet Leica quality and branding requirements?

This should make a good bedtime story.
