Here is what I think the most essential item for Leica's survival:


"...has survived precisely because it does not chase trends, but
concentrates on what it does best and what others can't...."

In many business books, when companies are wanting to buckle-down in
face of adversity, one key element is to focus on what they do best, and
their differentiators.

Admittedly, it's getting brutally tough out there in the world of
consumer photo gear.  

In my heart, Leica will always hold a special place.  I lusted for them
during school years, worked for them briefly after university, and use
and fondle them now.

In my 3 year old son's heart, Leica's may represent that shelf full of
antiques that daddy left him.



Regards,

Vick Ko

ON topic, you could say that Morgan has survived precisely because it
does not chase trends, but concentrates on what it does best and what
others can't. In spite of the pundits here, Leica may do best by
following a similar path.
