rosuna Posted September 9, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am very interested in the chiefs of the optical department at Leica, including dates, designs, philosophy, etc. I included a section for this subject in the Wikipedia "Leica" article, and updated the "Walter Mandler" article, but a lot of information is missing.

Advertisement Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Hi rosuna, Take a look here Leica's Optical Department. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rosuna Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share #2 Posted September 20, 2007 Can anyone bring some data about Max Berek, Helmut Marx, Wolfgang Vollrath, Lothar Kölsch and Peter Karbe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted October 12, 2007 The Leica entry in Wikipedia needs additonal data, like designed lenses, period of tenure, short biography, etc. I have completed the "Walter Mandler" entry, but the other designers need more data.

tdavis Posted November 19, 2008 Share #4 Posted November 19, 2008 rosuna: your comments dropped into a black hole. Maybe if you're still out there we could get together, have a beer, and commiserate as I have had the same experience. Everyone's time is so precious and of course more important to be taking pictures. That's OK but some of us drones need to beaver away so that the records are saved and all is not lost in the financial or other bonfire. Anyway, thanks for your efforts: noted and appreciated.

tdavis Posted November 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2008 Rosuna, Walter Mandler now has a proper place on our English LeicaWiki. Working through the night a battalion of us worker bees have put together a framework for Mandler and some of the other early and current Leica chiefs to reside. However, except for your fine work on Mandler, only the bones are in place. We need your help to flesh out the meat. Take a look (third bar in at the top of this page) and we think you'll like what you see (and if you don't, the great thing about a Wiki is that it's so easy to change). ______ Timbee --------- ''We have only just begun and could use your help.''

rosuna Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted August 11, 2009 No luck yet. I introduced a list of Leica's optical designers into the "Leica" term, and now it disappeared! Even the "Walter Mandler" article is now "orphan". References to Marx, Kölsch, Karbe, etc... were erased from Wikipedia... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
