This morning's Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung reports that Leica has 
made  a profit of 0.5 million Euros, after a loss of 9 million in the 
previous financial year.
Pre-tax profits (EBIT) are up at +5 million (previous year -8 million) 
Turnover increased by one third to 146 million.

Quote: The traditional manufacturer had slept and missed the trend 
towards digital photography  and found itself in difficulties. Now they 
are focusing on professional digital cameras" Unquote
