In many business books, when companies are wanting to buckle-down in face of adversity, one key element is to focus on what they do best, and their differentiators. Admittedly, it's getting brutally tough out there in the world of consumer photo gear. In my heart, Leica will always hold a special place. I lusted for them during school years, worked for them briefly after university, and use and fondle them now. In my 3 year old son's heart, Leica's may represent that shelf full of antiques that daddy left him.

ON topic, you could say that Morgan has survived precisely because it does not chase trends, but concentrates on what it does best and what others can't. In spite of the pundits here, Leica may do best by following a similar path. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/album25/LUG4?full=1> William
