Hello everybody!

On Friday, for the first time in my life, I make a trip to Leitz Park - full of curiosity, of course. In the evening, Peter Karbe will deliver a speech on Lensdesign SL in the Leica-store. 
Meanwhile being a SL2 owner and for years SL lens user, I am pretty sure that I will also have some curiosity when it comes to questions from the audience. 
In case anyone of our community may be there - let’s get to know each other! 
 
But now my idea:

If there are - please only serious factual and not polemical - questions that one or the other would like to ask, but without the opportunity to be there - questions welcome! 
Of course, I will report. 
Best regards 

Lik

PS.: I also take part in the photo app lesson because I'm still too stupid to get photos out of the cam, not to talk about transfer them to LR. 🙈😂

Does Leica have plans for technical outreach? I appreciated learning about Leica's design hurdles, successes, and philosophies from Mr. Puts, and I hope Leica will find a way (perhaps with another ambassador) to continue releasing similar educational/promotional materials in the future.

Very simple: Will there be a long zoom for the TL/CL system; something like TL-Vario-Elmar 100-400 O.I.S ?

Will there ever be a long prine, 400+ mm, in L-mount? A deep whish from more than me...

...and conversely, will there be an SL ultra wide coming?  21, 18, etc.

Thanks!

SL 21mm Summicron is on the roadmap for 2021. On the wider side, we already have the (excellent) SL 16-35mm.

Nice to know about the 21. Thanks.  In the meantime, I have my sights on the 16-35.... should happen soon.

Ask about an updated lens roadmap and expected dates for deliverables. Also, why it’s impossible to get the 35/50 Summicrons. Thanks. 

FWIW, I spoke with my local Leica rep, and he said that the reasons why there are shortages at times of certain lenses is simply because Leica doesn't mass produce lenses like companies such as Nikon, Canon or Fuji and that they (Leica) produce certain runs of lenses in batches.

A classic, ¨cheap¨ non-apo 2/50 standard lens of the size and weight of the Summicron R 2/50.  Or a Macro 2.8/60 or similar.    Anything non Apo, but small and affordable with AF, but not uni-size. Just one lens, so probably best the 50mm.    (Take the existing optical design R 2/50 and source it out)

OK. probably not enough of a challenge for Karbe, so not sexy.
