For those who get the Leica newsletter, this you may already know.For those of you, who do not, an LFI interview with Andreas Kaufmann, owner and now CEO of Leica, is available as a pdf file, via a link at the bottom of the page.:
http://www.lfi-online.de/ceemes/base.php?page/show/575Unlike most teasers for articles in LFI, the entire interview is available. Most unusual, but I suspect it was Kaufmann's price, as he wants to get his message out.
The most interesting part, to me, was:
LFI: Why have things fallen so quiet around the R system? Kaufmann: The R is a beautiful camera, but today's market gives preference to other products. I can assure you that we have every intention of leaving a mark in the single lens reflex sector, but that's all I can say for now.
In fact, he does a lot of "That's all I can say, for now.", but the article is still worth a read.
