Title: The new Leica magazine...
Post by: amsp on November 07, 2011, 04:17:53 pm
Really, did they have to pick the exact same name for their magazine as one of the best photography magazines that's already out there? They can't possibly have been unaware of this. I understand that it's the name of the camera system, but still, pretty disrespectful if you ask me.

Seems a little slack on Leica's part, but not all that surprising I suppose. Should have called it something else in anycase to represent their lineup, rather then just one camera... but then I'm not their target demographic.

Likely not the reason but,as I understand it,Leica Camera,does not own the Leica name.
I believe it is owned by Leica Microsystems and is licensed for use
