Timely article on what KODAK can learn from Polaroid, but applicable
equally as well to Leica, and coincidentally, seems to be what Leica is
doing anyway:

The 4 bullet points:

1 don't be afraid to raise prices
2 *The only cameras are going to be high-end cameras ? and very-low-end
ones.
*3 *?Don?t do anything that someone else can do.?*
4 *The little yellow box is still golden.

*Leica raises prices, goes big time on the high end cameras (Monochrom, S,
M 240), do things that no one does (MM, S, M 240, 50AA...) and it continues
to promotes its brand.
