Well, no, but Leica will sell you a baseplate that WILL use them, and the
Leica motor drive takes 'em.  They've not forgotten their heritage, Walt.

Besides, how many of us still use Leica cassettes?  It's simple economics:
if the marketplace no longer supports something, then Leica will drop it.
They are losing money at a frightful rate, after all.
