Guest guy_mancuso Posted February 7, 2007 Share #5  Posted February 7, 2007 leica sent me some of there ongoing promotions that are going on , so some info for the board   The Leica/Porsche Tour: Savor German engineering and hospitality at its best!  Here’s your chance to experience firsthand the convergence of old-world craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology at two legendary world-class manufacturing facilities—all while taking in some of Europe’s most spectacular sights, lodging at first class hotels, and dining at some of the finest restaurants in the region.  The Leica/Porsche trip, from June 17-26, 2007, includes such memorable delights as a tour of the charming Romanesque town of Wetzlar, birthplace of the Leica, a tour of the Leica factory in Solms, exploring Heidelberg, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, and visiting the renowned Porsche automobile factory. You’ll even get a chance to drive a classic Porsche 911 around Switzerland’s picturesque Lake Zurich!  Other highlights include shooting pictures in the Black Forest, lodging and dining at the famed resort of Baden-Baden, and visits to two royal palaces, Neuschwantstein, one of the most famous castles in Europe, and Linderhof Castle, a rococo masterpiece built in the ornate French style. This memorable event will conclude with a one-day photo tour of Munich, the capital of Bavaria and the beer capital of the world!  This prestige trip has been arranged and organized by the Leica Academy, and Leica instructors will be on hand to answer any technical questions and to guide you in the use of the latest Leica equipment, including the landmark Leica M8. Plenty of Leica loaner lenses and equipment will also be available to help you maximize your picture-taking potential.  Interested?

carstenw Posted February 7, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted February 7, 2007 For those of us unable to afford top hotels and restaurants on an extended basis, is there going to be an open day where those of us already in Germany can meet the gang? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest seven Posted February 8, 2007 Share #10  Posted February 8, 2007 Hello,  if you stay in Stuttgart and you are very interested in cars, you should visit the new Mercedes-Benz museum (even though you are driving with the 911 (the better car) ;-)). There you can find al great cars of the company and the museum has an extraordinary architecture. Here is the link:  Mercedes-Benz International - Mercedes-Benz brand world  Regards and congratulations to this top event!  Sven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xxl-user Posted February 8, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted February 8, 2007 Why is this a sticky? Â probably someone has paid for this advertisement. Â by the way: are girls included? i would love to take some shoots of beautiful german girls together with the most beautiful german car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted February 8, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted February 8, 2007 Armold, I did think about the advertising aspect of this - expecially given the expense and the limited number of forum participant who could attend, but given that there appears to be official Leica participation in the event that doesn't bother me. I'm more bothered about the number of stickies getting out of hand - 4 seems more than enough to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted February 8, 2007 Share #15  Posted February 8, 2007 If you stay in Stuttgart and you are very interested in cars, you should visit the new Mercedes-Benz museum  I agree, I went to the new M-B museum in September, just excellent and you get to keep the headset and neck-band of the commentary gizmo as a souvenir. Great photographic opportunities too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
