Interesting read, thx for posting. Many things new to me, including the plan to move back to Wetzlar.

I like what they said about starting a refurbishing company! The fact that sales of used were 4 to 1 compared to new.

Very interesting article!
The Leica "RESTORATION SERVICE" is especially interesting, maybe Leica will be thinking about it`s loyal film and collector customers as well, if they really want to bring money BACK to LEICA build a modern Screw Mount camera too and they will have a hit like Nikon has had with that SP2000 etc.
(maybe a new age Leica IIIF or IIIG????)
Or make a new version of the M6 J!!!!!
Take the M3 styled body add the latest Leica MP tech inside and mass produce it as a "Retro" camera with the original Wetzlar engravings and they will have a SERGE of real film cameras again (and maybe in 3 to 5 years make a digital version when all the "BUGS" are out of the M8 design)
I`m waiting to see what Leica M digital`s going to do, I would`nt even think of buying an M8 now, it`s a waste of money, they won`t be worth half what they are asking in 2 years and buy then a better camera will have been made......with Leica and digital it`s still better to see what the future brings, just stinks we have to wait so long for a GOOD camera to come out, the M8 is just a novelity it`s not a proven camera, it`s going to be a orphan just like the M5 was, the camera AFTER the M8`s going to be the GREAT one!
Or really maybe they should really listen to us and bulid a DIGITAL M BACK.....why don`t they cash in on all the former customers interests and make sure that we STAY with Leica and keep using M system lenses, why don`t they listen, just think how many M3/M2/M4 and M6 owners would love to have a digital back for their camera.....
