Not to be a contrarian, I think Leica missed the boat. I think that if the company could relive the past five decades, it would have taken SLR's seriously, taken electronics seriously, and ultimately been at the forefront, just as it once was. The company was born of innovation. Now, it seeks to carve a niche based upon the lack thereof. I love the company just the same, but what a pity to lose the pinnacle.
