Whistlin' in the dark – Leica opens first US store
The reason I’d call this a foolish move is twofold. One, with the current economic climate, opening a store that caters to a high end crowd seems a bit arrogant. More importantly, the location seems strange. Why Florida? Why not L.A. or New York, or somewhere else known for it’s photography culture? I wish Leica the best, but I find this a questionable move, and one that they may regret in the long run. It is going to be an amazing set up though, and I wish that Nikon and Canon would do something similar.
