Hi There, For a while I had Pentax made correction glasses on mee nose :) Why not. In fact, the joint venture between Panasonic and Leica does well for the brand name. But Leica buys out of Schott the bare material..... I would see that brand more into the tools required for making thecorrection glasses, the tools for printing (Japanese + german to repalce the Agfa tools) Any "scientific" use would suit Leica better. --------------------------------- Xavier F.
