Far, far, far too logical, Patrick. Sorry, but you wouldn't fit it in
Solms. How do I know? You forgot the mention the idea of issuing the
Luftwaffe IIIc this year to mark the end of WWII... ;-)

worst case scenario: we wanted to make radical changes to keep the boat
afloat but the ultra-conservative board of directors wouldn't allow him.
best case: the other way around but then I don't think the stock would
have moved in said direction.

why not just once for all leverage the brand and know-how around optics,
start manufacturing stellar Leica glass in Canon and Nikon mount, cancel
the R body if need be, strike some lucrative partnerships and keep
making the M series for nostaligic purposes.

See, that wasn't so hard to figure out, perhaps I should call Solm and
apply for the job :-)

Happy snaps!
