Good point Anthony, but I am afraid that Leica doesn’t have such a strong position. Zeiss a.g. is huge company, lens division is just a small part, and almost whole company belongs to same owners.
Leica camera and lens division is owned by Andreas Kaufmann and while he owns rights for Leica brand (I mean Leica Camera AG), its sister companies have different owners and they just use brand Leica under license (Leica Geo and Microsystems). That is entirely different starting point…
However, if they abandon cameras, and keep making lenses, I am sure that you are 100% right. They will find many more users across platforms…
Cheers,
Viktor
