Gerry,
No they have not - I see the Blackstone/Kaufmann combo carefully planning
how to maximize profits for a public flotation in the medium term, to
partially/completely cash out.This whole line up stinks of squeezing
profits out of existing technology, and the Private Equity investment
mantra of 'strip and dump'. The message is uber clear is it not? Leica
using photographers are NOT the target market any more. I bet we in Asia
can get our hands on these new products much easier than all of you can in
Europe and the USA...

I think it will be well worthwhile to contemplate an investment in Leica
equity with a 2-3 year horizon than buy their products, I think it will be
far more profitable!

Cheers
Jayanand
