Subject: [Leica] What's in a name?
From: "Andrew Amundsen" <andy@tcinternet.net>

Here's a trivia question for someone:

When the Leica was first introduced the ads said; 'Leica Kamera' in Germany.
Now if the name Leica comes from LEItz & CAmera why wasn't 'Leica' spelled
'Leika'?

If Kamera was the way Germans used to spell the word, why a C then in the
Leica name? Can any of our German members help with this answer?

Thanks, AndrewAA
