I wouldn't call it a snub.
Cash starved Leica must have figured they could make
it much cheaper themselves or through their
traditional contractor(s) Eumig last I heard. What
else could they possibly do. Abrahmson has nothing to
worry about. I get the feeling his product will easily
hold its own against Leitz and it's made in the USA to
keep the patriot fries eaters happy.
