which brings to mind...

I have been seeing more lenses bearing the name leica, than I ever  
could have  dreamed of...

all in promotions for and on panasonics....


shouting cachet, screaming quality, selling for relatively low

If they are not getting big bucks out of this, why are they doing it,  
and
why won't they do it for other camera makers?
