The German newspaper “Die Zeit” has published a quite interesting article on Leica, their history and their current status. It outlines Leica’s financial struggles a couple of years ago, explains how they managed to get back into the black (financially), and sketches out what the future of the company might look like.

Inbetween, you learn lots of interesting details about Leica’s history, and you get some insights into the structure of the company and their philosophy. Definitely worth a read for all Leica aficionados.

The article is written in German, but you can find an English translation here.
