Much better than they expected. They traded their way back into into the black and are looking to expand their market presence further. They've doubled their lens production, are aiming to double that again (I guess when they move into their new larger Wetzlar facilities) and reportedly are back ordered by about a year's lens production right now. Not bad for a little niche company. Reportedly there will be a new system. More than likely it will not replace the M sytem, which is their core after all. Kodak is another subject!
