I love it how we're sitting back and second guessing the whole Leica
manufacturing process like we're all experts or something.
It's not like "the rewind crank on the M4 is a little stiff" or something.
Lets not forget at that Leica at this point in its long existence is in the
hands of  Dr. Andreas Kaufmann a guy who owns a handful of successful
optical companies. Leica being one card in the hand he's holding.
What went into the way the manufacturing structure of Leica Digital M's has
evolved we know not what. I'm somehow included to give these people the
benefit of the doubt.
The smart money would be not on Joe Lug to make these decisions but this
Kaufmann guy; the 4th richest guy in Europe. My money's on him.
And the Leica X1, S2 and M9.
And the next thing he comes out with -
- I'm sure he'll have more than a small clue as to how to clobber that one
together too.
