Leica will find another company that makes sensors.
The real problem is: who will replace the Tri-X, the T-Max film and developer?
Huge loss for B&W film photographers.

I hope they will sell the rights to produce these items to some other manufacturer. |

What usually happens is intellectual property is liquidated so if someone sees Tri-X etc as viable products then they could well but up the technology.

I would love to see them survive. As long as Antonio M Perez is running things, i worry for them. He, as I understand, is the one that sold off and stopped development of all kinds of things so they could concentrate on cheap printers and other things that didn't help.
Their will be a big run on B&H, Adorama and others now for Ektar, Portra, T-MAX 400 and others. That might actually help the company while they are trying to restructure.

Agreed on Tri-X. Also X-tol developer, although I hear that it would be simple to make or buy very similar (not sure though).
Sad to hear.

They had an interesting promise here.
But they lost in the end , trying to keep alive the film and not betting on Digital cameras . Sadly.
