Digital Photo Review lists a couple of new entrants in Panasonic's 
Lumix digital line as of Tuesday at <<http://www.dpreview.com/>> ,

two of the new cameras have "Lumix DC Vario" lenses, with no mention of 
Leica.  The ones with the 12x zooms are still labelled Leica.

Can anyone clarify the state of the Leica-Panasonic relationship?  It 
seemed to me that this arrangement provided Leica a source of cash and 
introduced digi-nuts to the pleasures of Leica lenses . is the 
relationship fraying?? inquiring minds....

cheers
