Re: "Blackstone Could Sell Control Of Leica In €1 Billion Deal "
I'd be cautiously optimistic and hopeful if Zeiss bought Leica.
They've been making these ridiculously smooth mirrors for use in chip making (insanely smooth) so I'd hope they'd bring some more manufacturing expertise to improve QC and mechanical reliability.
Something like if the mirrors were enlarged to the size of the earth, the difference betewen the highest and lowest point would be the thickness of a single card from a playing deck.
( Watched a long video on the machines that make the chips ).
Meanwhile Leica loses focus accuracy after a car ride.
Hyperbole, but still. Don't want yearly service where the camera is MIA for half of it and they forgot where they placed the components box and charge you $5K to ring the dude looking for it for an update. One and done unless it falls off a cliff.
