I find it unbelievable that a company with the long experience and expertise
of Leica can't design and build a new digital rangefinder camera that
produces colours accurately. I'm sorry, but to me, it would be kind of like
Ferrari saying they couldn't make a car that steers properly above 30 mph
without the addition of some kind of external tracking rods which they can't
fit internally because there is not enough room under the bonnet (while
still charging a fortune for the car). It really doesn't wash. Leica should
get back to the drawing board pronto!
