[Leica] Leica implications about future developments

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

It looks to me they are having a heck of a time making the cameras fast
enough for people who are pretty happy with the way its put together and
think its real appropriate for the price.
Upgradeability was a Leica hallmark in the 30's and 40's  but its hard to
keep that up.

In Medium format digital with the prices in the tens of thousands of dollars
for stuff I've heard of all kinds of unusual upgradebity deals offered by
the manufactures you don't get in 35.
But even in this realm these guys are spending 10 20 30 40 thousand dollars
on backs and or cameras which they know is not going to be the cutting edge
set of specs in a very few years. But I think they can have certain things
upgraded. Or bring it in and they get a real good deal on another. Maybe the
go the the Grand Canyon and go "oops".
