Leica may have a cost problem.

From the Economist:

"...virtually all of Germany's biggest firms are setting up plants abroad
to make products more cheaply"

"The hourly cost of labour in manufacturing industry in western Germany,
including wages, social-security (including health) and pension
contributions, is 13% more than in America, 43% more than in Britain and
59% more than in Spain, according to the US Bureau of Labour
Statistics..."
