A Chat with Leica AG CEO about the M9 Sensor

[Huss]

Thanks for the effort Raid.

No problem. I am just the messenger. We know that RFF is on the CEO's "list".

 

[Kwesi]

As always, "Nicely done Raid!"

 

[Sparrow]

... people often get confused as to what companies like Leica actually make, it's common to misunderstand what the board is trying to do as an outside observer

No problem. There is strength in numbers.
How many Leica camera owners are there here at Rff ?

Raid,

I only own five leicas. My Leica digital is a Monochrom.

One Leica is not enough. RFF is a pool of Leicas.

Cal,
I meant to ask how many Leica owners and not cameras there are here. 1000?

I'm guessing 10,000 or more - counting past and present Leica owners. Most simply will not bother to reply your ownership thread. I didn't.

So Raid, what is happening with this interview?
Its long overdue the ETA.

Added questions:

Is Blackstone indeed looking for a Leicaexit - say with Panasonic as some internet reports suggest?

What is the latest news on the final solution for the M9 sensor problems, and the total amount of M9 type sensors estimated to be affected ?

I will try to contact the new CEO very soon.
