They have zero competency in that business. There are just a very few marquee retail locations in the most actively prestigious markets. There are a few more Leica corners in places where they can carpetbag on exisiting retailers -- easy in, easy out. >From my experience, around here, Leica can barely be said to have a sales "force." They're reasonably good at designing and eventually manufacturing worthwhile product for a fairly captive market. There's the rub. Thank your favourite deity every day that they're still around. They've defied the odds several times already. Emanuel
