What did Pixel Club say?

"Leica, which cannot continue to capitalize indefinitely on its myth 
(certainly justified), should react, if it is not with the appearance of new 
Hexar, at least to the pressure of its more faithful aficionados. If optical 
excellence, spearhead of the German firm, is always of topicality, force is 
to note that a serious breach has just been open in Germanic hegemony. The 
more so as nothing prevents an owner of Hexar RF from assembling Leitz optics 
on its body..."

Ouch. Note the giant pressure plate visible in on the first page.
