That's the main point here, isn't it? If Leica continues to make their
cameras as they have, or better, I don't care if they make salt water taffey
as a sideline, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the quality of their
cameras. We will know soon enough if they change. And it would be foolhardy
if they give up on the one single reason people continue to buy them.
Collectible as they are, they wouldn't be if they were true Leicas.
