Advertisement Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Hi lct, Take a look here If you could ask Peter Karbe one question.... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Steven Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share #122 Posted July 9, 2021 He's actually giving a lot of info on their view of the current market and how it will impact the future of the brand and the product. Will tell you more when the talk is over. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

laowai_ Posted July 9, 2021 Share #127 Posted July 9, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) 19 hours ago, jplomley said: The "Leica" which is usually at the top was at the bottom, so when you looked at the lens straight on, it appeared upside down. This ring is threaded in, right? ‘Clocking’ screws is not a good idea. Screws need a certain amount of torque to stay in place via friction. If the elongation is the screw is too low it will work itself out. So what at first glance might look like attention to detail is in fact quite the opposite.

Steven Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share #129 Posted July 9, 2021 So, the talk was actually quite interesting. He was asked A LOT of questions, on A LOT of topics, and he answered A LOT of them. It turns out that it was recorded. I would not want to post it publicly of course, but since you all helped with the questions, I'd be happy if you cant get all the interesting info we got out of it. What I had in mind was to make it listen to two or three trusted member from the forum for them to decide what is useful to share (and save). In my mind, I thought to send it to @Jeff S (because he is kind of wise, and kind of synthetic), and @adan because only him (that I know of) will understand and digest a big part of the technical conversation. But then of couse, not sure if Jeff and Adan (btw, Adan, is your name Dean ?) have the time and the will to do this. It's a two hour recording after all. Or if anyone has any other suggestions ... ?

Synthetic? 🤪 Thanks, but sorry I don’t have the time. Adan is Andy. There are many others here who are technically minded. My guess, though, is that the sponsor/recorder of the session might have some plan for the recording, or at least some thoughts. I’d start there. Various other sessions have been published, only some of which I’ve linked. Some of Karbe’s recently published talks (on both M and SL lenses) are 2+ hours long, with much technical info.

Two hours, multi topic, sometimes very technical sometimes not. The recorder has no other plans than choosing a couple forum members who are volunteering to make a summary 😜 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share #137 Posted July 9, 2021 I saw this. I think today was different, because we got to ask him questions that he didn't plan. The presentation part lasted only 20 minutes. For example, I asked him if we were heading into a future with EVF, I asked him what would be the next revolution after the APO trend, and I even asked him if he was happy with the M11! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He routinely does this… see post #50, for instance. Interesting stuff also contained in various published conversations with folks like David Farkas (Leica Miami/Red Dot Forum) , Hugh Brownstone (Three Blind Men videos), etc. The spontaneous Q&A parts are often the most interesting (from Karbe and other Leica staff). Just tell us anything new and interesting. Simple. Jeff Edited July 9, 2021 by Jeff S 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a patent attorney, I'm fairly good at sifting through complex technical stuff and distilling it down to a comprehensible mass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
