Hey you guys, look what just showed up on the Leica web site:



Tokyo, July 24, 2001  Leica Camera AG of Solms, Germany, and Matsushita 
Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. of Osaka, Japan, better known for its 
Panasonic brand products,  .....


Ten or so years ago I worked as a service engineer servicing professional and top end consumer audio equipment.  Of all the brands I worked on, Panasonic, National, Matsushita was by far the worst re qc & design.  Nice boxes but the stuff inside was crap.  I would never buy nor recommend any Matsushita product, with or without a leica badge on it.  I hope for Leica's sake that things have changed in the last 10 years.
