2019: the use of the Leitz brand Leica’s Dr Kauffmann bought back the rights to the Leitz brand. So, more products bearing the original company name. Cine lenses, for instance are branded as Leitz as well M lenses and camera limited editionsNot the same. Leica Camera, Leica Microsystems and Leica Geosystems are separate entities, and the profits of the Micro and Geo companies do not support the Camera entity. Leica Camera have to make their profit from cameras and sporting optics, or they go bust. So their business approach makes a lot of sense.
