And that's if they're even still in the rangefinder business by then. Leica's name will never disappear, thanks to the P&S cameras whose lenses are stamped as Leicas, but I often wonder how much time Leica has left as a maker of their own cameras. They've had a lot of financial troubles in recent years, and I'd be surprised if someone didn't buy them up and eliminate the less profitable parts of the business. It's what Konica did to Minolta. It is also becoming apparent it's what Hoya would like to do with Pentax.
