Jonathan,

Do you really think Leica is making the Leica O to loose money.
I don't think they can play that game for the moment.

I think it's the reverse which is true.
The are making the Leica 0 for good cash in order to invest
it in R&D.
The same as they did with Millennium M6.

And what are the M6TTL 0,58 and the 28/2 ASPH if they are
not a"continuous improvement of the rangefinder camera and
the design of newer, better (lighter?!)lenses" ?

Don't worry, they will continue to improve both the camera
and the lenses in the future.
