For a company that is doing all that, they seem to spend a lot of time and 
money making some of the best lenses available for any system.......

Adam,
It has been blindingly obvious for a long time, to anyone who does not have
his eyes wide shut,  that Leica has morphed into a luxury marketing company
(have you ever bothered to notice WHERE they advertise nowadays?)! They are
opening boutiques in India now in partnership with the largest
dealers/purveyors of luxury goods here. However, there is hope for them
though, to change back into a photographic company, now that luxury goods
sales in China have drastically plunged across the board.
Cheers
Jayanand
