History

Summary

The changing from Leitz to Leica brand was related only to the changes in the shareolders' structure of the Company, that dates to the '80s, when Leitz family sold the control stakes to the first of a series of new investors (for the record, the first buyers were the Schmiedheiny family, a rather reclusive swiss financial powerhouse whose main asset is the cement company Holcim, one of the 2 or 3 biggest worldwide). The changover didn't reflect at all to the products …. the typical example is the Leica M6: first production batches had the name “Leitz”, then it was simply changed to “Leica”, and the same, in due course, happened to lenses, enlargers, binoculars and so.
