ho_co Posted December 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Only six consumer-goods companies made Die Welt's list of the one hundred top mid-size German companies, and Leica is the top one of those, at number 17. The article points out that the M Monochrom has far outstripped its initial sales forecast, and that it sells primarily to professional photographers. The GoogleTranslate version of the article is quite readable at: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.welt.de%2Fwirtschaft%2Farticle135421398%2FDas-sind-die-besten-Mittelstaendler-Deutschlands.html&edit-text=&act=url. The original article is at: Deutschlands beste Mittelständler dominieren Branchen - DIE WELT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Hi ho_co, Take a look here Leica number 17 on list of small-to-medium-size German companies. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Herr Barnack Posted December 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) There's no doubt about it - Leica is doomed. ...Statement of good taste: Singer Lenny Kravitz photographed at a news conference in Madrid with a Leica M8.... Whoever wrote that line as the caption for the photo of Kravitz should be whipped to within an inch of death using a Luigi "Special Deluxe" leather camera strap.

ho_co Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted December 17, 2014 OTOH, Carlos, I like the fact that Seal is identified as Heidi Klum's ex-husband. At least that caption puts matters in perspective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
