Leica should be named "Camera made by the factory formerly known as Ernst
Leitz, from Wetzlar, moved to Solms, sold several times and now publicly
traded on the stock market so that idiots can wreck it for good, and
smart guys on the Leica USERS Group can question the pertinence of its
name when they have nothing else to do"

Why don't you guys cut it out?!

Get out there and shoot your Leica!
