Subject: Is Matsushita Leica's long-awaited white knight?
> By the way, it looks to me like Leica has finally figured out a way to
hoist

> all its digicams has greatly revitalized the Cameralens division of Carl
> Zeiss--I hear it has more than tripled the number of employees working in
> the division. If Matsushita is serious about an assault on the digicam
> market--and it looks like it is--AND if it's going to use Leica-made
optics
> on all its digicams, then this is the salvation of Leica, which has looked
> very much in recent years like a doomed, dying company.

> This has been a development devoutly to be wished; if any
