In manufacturing environments, the problems must be defined. In marketing, the problems are both created and destroyed....perfect entropy. But no cash flow means disaster, and selling lenses to Photojournalists (real or imaginary) that want to or have to use Nikon or Canon makes sense to me....... If Sigma, Tamron, etc can make lenses for multiple mounts, why not Leica? It might be as sinple as Mark points out..... hire more people, get more equipment, build a new building...The lensmaking is not exactly nuclear science. Frank Filippone
