I'm so dumb. I read the title of this thread and thought a "Blackston Exit" was some new camera bag.

most of the suggestions here are barmy
The X is doing ok, the T is disappointing but far from dead and more lenses and bodies are on the way, perhaps even a FF in the future
The Q is doing very very well and the M is bread and butter, doing well, and Leica can still pull the rabbit out of the hat with film cameras, aka the M-A. I also notice that interest in the S has been rising with Amateurs since the cost cuts and introduction of the S-E.
I think Leica has a very large number of separate lines relative to the size of the company. I think they should do some consolidating rather then processing wacky ideas:
1. T - more lenses and a body update or alternative
2. Q - probably worth introducing a 50mm as no other fixed frame compact has that FL
3. M - keep going as before. Very interested to see what M260 holds
4. X - Probably needs a revamp. Would like "back to the X2" size
5. PannyLeicas - seem to be doing well, especially the new 1" and 4/3s models
I'd say steady as she goes, fine tune and continue to innovate on subsequent models and concentrate on improving the popularity of systems based on customer feedback.
