Leica was bought by a famous Austrian Dr. Andreas Kaufmann "owner and CEO of Leica Camera, Leica Salzburg ACM Projektentwicklungs GmbH He owns several optical companies; Is the 4th richest Man in the Milky Way. And appears to be a man of great vision. Can see Andromeda without special glasses. We seem to be in capable hands. He's coming out with a sub medium format digital camera system to rival the Hasselblads made by Fuji with backs from Copenhagen which now dominate much high end shooting. The S2. A new Leica 18mm f/3.8 ASPH for the Leica M has come out and a 24 1.4 and a 21 1.4 and a new .95 Noctilux. The fastest lens in this Galaxy Cluster. When the M8 evolves into a full frame M9 Leica will be back in the ballgame like never before. Or at least before the Nikon F hit. Maybe better. Also a new slow compact Elmar-M 24mm f/3.8 Aspherical lens. Cooking with steam now. Or oil. Whichever's best.
