hey sigma even made leica lenses a while back!!

  i want leica to survive and thrive. but they need to get into the
main stream, everybody is pushing 15 + meg leica is 10, and then u got
the 8k plus lenses. that's far from main stream profitability. i
really think they need a set of lenses in the 1~2k range, then a set
"premium" @ 5k range but beyond that for a camera that now can not
shoot or compete past iso 640 is way too much and i am a leica die
hard
