For those of us who thought Leica "did it all," the Ford analogy was a wake- up. Who in today's industrial age produces their own raw materials?? Virtually nobody. I personally, feel embarassed that I actually thought such a small company could do this and be competitive the photo industry. Blame Leica and see my other post. Silly me! Arturo
