To me, the greatest success for Leica would be a seamless transition of the film M system to a digital format, complete with an unaltered set of effective focal lengths, retention of the current rangefinder system, and quiet, speedy operation.

This, coupled with the rest of the Leica news, suggests that even Leica realizes the future for a film camera company is indeed bleak, and that any camera company that wants to stay afloat will have to do it with digital. So if they can sell those bonds...I'm ready to order...:-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Henning Wulff Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2004 12:47 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Digital M - was Leica to Restructure, Cut Staff At 9:37 AM -0700 2/7/04, gregj.lorenzo@shaw.ca wrote: >From Yahoo Finance: http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/040206/1343000667_1.html > >Regards, > >Greg Well, if Leica can pull this off, I would be delighted!
