Well, it sounds like a fair assessment. Stephen Lee is by no means the  
first Anglo-Saxon manager to learn that it is not so easy to go and  
manage a company in another country.

As for the financials quoted, they are really disastrous. Basically,  
the new products to be released at Photokina need to increase sales by  
2/3 for Leica to break even. So you all better place your orders for  
the M8.2 and the new lenses ;-)
