==Leica lens design==
Leica built its early business on the outstanding quality of its design and especially its lens design....but there is no mention of this or how the lenses were designed and the glass used. At the time when Leica was growing Zeiss was doing its utmost to better Leitz quality using innovative designs and new glass formulations - what was Leitz doing to stay ahead?

Any answers much appreciated. <span style="background-color:lightblue">'''''&nbsp;[[User:Velela|Velela]]&nbsp;'''''</span><span style="background-color:lightblue">&nbsp;<sup>''[[User talk:Velela|Velela]] Talk ''</sup>&nbsp;</span> 21:43, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure why Leica doesn't make 35mm movie lens or movie camera's? They make great lens as it would be great to see a movie camera from Leica versing Panavision.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.205.229.251|24.205.229.251]] ([[User talk:24.205.229.251|talk]]) 00:49, 20 March 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


They do make Cine lenses... In fact they've won awards: "An Academy Scientific and Engineering Award was presented to Iain Neil for the optical design and André de Winter for the mechanical design of the Leica Summilux-C lenses."<ref>http://www.fdtimes.com/2015/02/09/leica-summilux-c-tech-oscar/</ref>  Also, [http://www.overgaard.dk/Leica-Cine-Movie-Primes-Summicron-Summilux-Lenses.html this article] has a lot of information about the history of leica's cinematic lenses.

== Leica and the smartphones ==

The Chinese company Huawei includes in its smartphones photo and vídeo cameras designed by Leica AG. The first model with these Leica cameras was the Huawei P9.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/83.46.198.173|83.46.198.173]] ([[User talk:83.46.198.173#top|talk]]) 10:15, 20 February 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Upgrades ==

I know it’s original research, but I can attest that Leitz upgraded my old Leica IIIc to IIIf specifications around 1963 or so.  FWIW. [[User:MauriceJFox3|Maurice Fox]] ([[User talk:MauriceJFox3|talk]]) 01:26, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

== Company history? ==

The company history, which looks like it was translated from the source (not good), was added in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leica_Camera&type=revision&diff=814285768&oldid=812166202 this edit] from December 2017. It seems to have information already present in the article under History, and having two sections like this is problematic anyway. I don't speak Germany and don't know that much about the subject though, so I'm not sure I would be a good candidate to clean this up. Can someone familiar with the subject help? —[[User:Ynhockey|Ynhockey]] <sup>([[User talk:Ynhockey|Talk]])</sup> 06:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

== Long overdue for splitting ==

It's telling that the [[Talk:Leica Camera/Archive 1#Page too big?|very first discussion in the archives]] is about how long this is. It is massively overdue for a split. [[User:Thumperward|Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward)]] ([[User talk:Thumperward|talk]]) 20:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
