Phase One / Leica split

[John Thawley]

It appears the relationship between Phase One and Leica has come undone. BJP is reporting:

It now appears that the deal has been dropped. ‘When we went into the details of the deal, there was too much disagreement,’ Henrik O. Håkonsson, president and CEO at Phase One tells BJP. ‘We decided to put it to rest for the time being. However, we still have an agreement for Leica’s smaller cameras where Capture One can be used.’

A Leica spokeswoman confirmed that the deal was off, but declined to comment further.

Leica might as well drop Phase One for the "smaller cameras" too then as it seems inconvenient to maintain 2 partners for the same purpose.

I love C1 & hope this does not affect my license

Only that’s not exactly “news” – it’s a press release from last year’s photokina.
