[Leica] Leica Camera AG could be bought by Chinese company

[Sonny Carter]

I saw a discussion on Petapixel regarding this, and they felt that not a
lot would change, that is, Leica would continue to be a hand built product
largely made in Germany.  That elevates Leica to the price points they ask
for the cameras and lenses.

The speculation too was it seems more like it will be a buy in than a buy
out.
