[Leica] Solms

[datamaster at northcoastphotos.com (Gary Todoroff)]

Albert Haganauer at Leica gave me a fine tour of the Solms site last 
October. He was getting ready to retire in just a few months. A photo 
of Albert and me in front of the Leica camera family tree is at:

After seeing the hands-on construction and testing of the M9, the 
cost of the camera becomes a bit more understandable (though not 
affordable). Leica does not allow photos in the factory anymore, 
unlike about 15 years ago when I was able to fire away at all the 
workstation areas through the plate glass windows.
