They are going to do a cooperative job with another company to build their 
AF SLR. What more do you want? So goes the story from the Leica Rep. for 
this area. And I have read somewhere (Hans Peter Coehn in '96) that they 
were going to do some joint ventures. It's adding up to Leica getting it 
done. Have some patience.
