Subject: [Leica] Leica has bought Sinar

The Leica bei Meister Newsletter I just received states that Leica 
AG, Solms, has buyed 51% of the Sinar shares previoisly owned by Jenoptik.

Swiss company Sinar http://www.sinar.ch/ is famous for it's 
professional solutions for the medium and large format photography. 
It's former owner Jenoptik http://www.jenoptik.com is the company 
that implements the kodak sensor and software in the M8.

Would could this mean? Leica entering the digital medium/large format 
area? All I can say is that's it's positive sign that Leica is able 
to buy another company and not the other way round.
