Leica CEO Schopf got fired yesterday
未來會有乜發展呢？未來發展係，Leica 變成Panasonic 旗下子公司。 Leica 与别不同之处在于 focus on niche market 的 production 及 marketing strategy。但自从Leica 放棄CCD那一刻开始便感受到変化，亦代表这品牌在数码化演变中的失落。
看来还是专心玩菲林Leica 机吧！ Panasonic buying Leica might not be a bad thing... Sawlo2000 發表於 2015-3-3 18:11

For Leica, I am interested with film camera(s) and vintage lenses only !I have not been buying and selling Leica items for almost 2 years.
Leica, German made may become a history soon.
Panasonic, Japan brand, I do not like to use the products made by this country at all.
Why Leica want to chase Canon or Sony? Creating similar system?
This is a wrong decision and they are too far behind to catch up. Since Leica into the digital world, their standard and Leadership are in the new low.
Leica have done superiority in Electronic Distance Measuring Device and S2 system, and if they take away the digital system for auto-focus and continue on better manual control in both close and far distance for users, then they can create a heaven of its own.
Drop the Panasonic as their technology are limited and too old for Leica to invent something new. keith 發表於 2015-3-4 09:48

That's precisely the problem. Leica has no future if everyone only wants to buy their film cameras and vintage lenses.

Leica can be profitable in its market, but no company can be profitable beyond its market.
If Leica sticks to its customer base (aficionados, artists, high-end pros, luxury goods buyers, overzealous amateurs) and expand organically, it can quite competently serve its satisfed customers and make a profit.
The problem with private equity is the ruthless and relentless pursuit of short term profit at any cost, even at the expense of destroying the company within a few years. The reckless expansion of production facilities and over ambitious sales plans are completely unrealistic. There is no way so many customers can be converted to the Leica way is so short a span of time.
Yesterday I chatted with a studio owner branching into video production. Like many people with real knowledge of photography, he considered Leica to be a joke. Of course he has tried it, but he simply didn't like it. Leica fans brought up with Leica film cameras are biased towards Leica, out of habits if not of merits. Just imagine how many more photographers of all levels are brought up with Japanese cameras and what their preferences would be.
So the problem is with Blackstone, not Leica.
Money brings out absolutely the worst in people

Agree and they should price sensibly! http://leicarumors.com/2015/03/03/its-official-oliver-kaltner-is-the-new-leica-camera-ceo.aspx/#more-33740 Shareholders don't give a fuk about long term development, but keep squeezing mgt for overnight market shares and profits. Don't blame the mgt, but shareholders, mgt is a puppet only. Welcome to the fastfood culture 本帖最後由 Sawlo2000 於 2015-3-4 18:11 編輯
I was thinking. Hoping that Panasonic can make use of Leica tech to make better lens (eventually go full frame) and Leica as a company on its own makes profit through that to sustaine it's traditional ways.
It's the only way an old company can survive.
