A Little Known Fact I Didn't Know About Leica:

Posted by Vinylly on May 20, 2004 at 17:48:12:
Well, let's just say it was 'little known' by me.
Apparently Leica is really just a small company without much cash. Apparently this is why Panasonic is making all their digital cameras for them. Leica does not have the technical facilities to make their own digital cameras. I just read in one of the photo mags that Leica will be selling bonds to raise cash so that they can come up with the money to develop their own digital cameras. What they have on their drawing table and making the plans for is a digital camera that looks exactly like their old M6, even the same size. They want to make it themselves. This must mean that they are not entirely satisfied with Panasonic. My hunch is everybody agrees with them and they know it.
