The proposal as outlined by Leica is: Arrival, Thursday, July 8th, in Wetzlar, home town of Oskar Barnack. Booked in a Hotel down town (addresses can be given) Friday, July 09th, meeting point in our main hall in Solms (about 6 km off), close to 10 a.m., and factory tour. We show Leica lens production in detail, from the optics to coating over mounting to final control, parts of Leica final camera assembly, including sport optics, and, most important, the Leica Historical exhibition. Photographing in the production area is not permitted. The tour will end around noon. In our main hall we have the Leica Picture Gallery and the famous Leica Shop, where one can purchase Leica products.In the afternoon discussion with our product management, product presentation,Q+A-period. Saturday morning: visit of the town Wetzlar with cameras, photographic field trip. End of visit at Saturday afternoon and going home. At the moment I have made no hotel enquiries and no travel plans but I felt it important to get the dates fixed as early as possible to ensure that the tour could be accommodated by Leica. If interested people would like to email me OFF LIST I will keep a list and contact them nearer the time.
