Hi everyone, just 15 hours in Wetzlar and wanting to know where this scene is (included a pic)

 

We drive past the original Leitz Factory here in Wetzlar tonight but couldn't see anything close by (it was dark and raining)

Well I must have missed it! ;-)

 

My GPS took me to the town centre (as Tom Tom sees it) but I did not see this building.

 

If anyone has a cross roads or street address I can just plug it into my GPS.

 

I'm not a native of DE and have a meeting at Solms tomorrow am at 10, so I haven't much time.

 

Thanks in advance!

Cool - mission accomplished - plus a personalised factory tour in Solms followed by lunch with one of the great Leica guys, Rene who introduced me to Stefan Daniel.

 

Also, saw a $2M dollar custom built lens (made for King of Brunei?) to take close ups of "his falcons" as they fly. Only 3 of these lenses in existence - one for the King, one as a backup in the safe at Solms and the one pictured here.

 

A big day, leaving Frankfurt now, landing in Uganda tomorrow!

It is great to see just what Leica can do in these constrained times.

 

I don't think it is very new - it is on display in the reception area at the Solm's plant.
