marknorton Posted April 28, 2013 Share #1  Posted April 28, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) There are a number of pictures over on the German forum of Leica's new headquarters and factory being built in Wetzlar, the spiritual home of Leitz.  In case you don't venture there, here are a few pictures I took after stopping in Wetzlar for lunch a couple of weeks ago...  Welcome, dear visitor!

Paul J Posted April 28, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks. It's a nice looking building. Â They should really build a black dot version for stealth. Or an Hermes Edition without a front door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted April 28, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks for providing the pics in this International forum, Mark. You are getting around. I think in Melbourne recently and now back to the mother ship. I notice in the builder's illustration that the artist has included the people still waiting for their M's outside the building Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share #4 Â Posted April 28, 2013 Yes, they're actually wandering aimlessly around waiting for their strap lugs to be fixed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted April 29, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted April 29, 2013 It has no cloaking device against the Nikon D3X! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished it looked more finished as in ready to produce large number of goods.  It looks like the poor lady, under the tree, in the illustration has been waiting @ 9 months. Long enough apparently to conceive and be near full term. The father has seemingly wandered off possibly after giving up and having bought a used M9-P or MM.

stuny Posted April 29, 2013 Share #7 Â Posted April 29, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I suppose the round sections are desgined to suggest lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted April 29, 2013 Share #8  Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks. It's a nice looking building. They should really build a black dot version for stealth. Or an Hermes Edition without a front door. And a Billingham canvas and leather tent cover to keep out the dust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted April 29, 2013 Share #9 Â Posted April 29, 2013 A black dot on the front of the building would make it 'stealthy'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted April 29, 2013 Share #10 Â Posted April 29, 2013 I suppose the round sections are desgined to suggest lenses. Stuart I think that BMW already thought of that first. Have you seen their (four cylinder) corporate headquarters in Munich? http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/146254291 Â But if you have enough money in my country you can go to a dealer and buy a BMW 3 series. Actually there are the same number of BMW dealers as Leica M dealers in my city, one for each million people ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
