In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how Leica Camera survived—and thrived—through the digital photography revolution while competitors like Kodak and Nikon struggled. They explore Leica's pivot from film to digital, its focus on the rangefinder experience, and its strategy of controlled scarcity and premium pricing. Specific numbers include Leica's price-to-earnings ratio and the cost of a Leica M11 body. The hosts discuss how the company turned a technological disadvantage into a luxury moat by emphasizing craftsmanship and heritage over specs. They also compare Leica's approach to Ferrari and Hermès, and consider whether this strategy is replicable in other industries. The episode closes with a reflection on the tension between innovation and tradition. #Leica #DigitalPhotography #LuxuryBrand #BusinessStrategy #CompetitiveMoat #PhotographyIndustry #Rangefinder #GermanEngineering #Scarcity #PremiumPricing #Kodak #Nikon #Ferrari #Hermes #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #StrategyTalks Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
