And this is where Leica makes a big mistake IMO.
And this is what Jorge Torralba had after talking one of rich friends, who is using Leica right now:
“Then it dawned on me. My friend said something that caught me by surprise. Totally unexpected and never saw it coming. He said to me, Leica does not need to compete. Leica is for it’s own niche market. It’s for those who want to wear the label. He went on to say he would never be seen with a Sony again. He was embarrassed to have one around his neck and would put tape all over it to mask the word Sony.”
Leica has changed ownerships several times, and one thing is for sure: maximizing profitability. One way to do it is going after customers willing to pay for luxury items and/or camera gear collectors. I am sure Leica has seen an increase of their M lens sales caused by the Sony FF mirrorless cameras. That should make them think seriously about competing with Sony to increase their market share. The attitude \"Leica does not need to compete\" hurts in the long run. Kodak also once said that they don\'t see digital as threat and worthwhile to compete with...
