Silly old article? Well Leica attracts some silly users, to say it politely. And it’s just been published. Please delete the topic if it doesn’t meet the high standards in here. 👀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 22, 2023 Share #5 Posted April 22, 2023 The topic is fine thank you for drawing attention to the article The lens was mentioned on the forum a few days ago The silly bit is that a luxury novelties magazine reports it like today’s discovery, despite knowing that it has been on display since 17 years and reinforcing it by a photo of a car that is seventeen years ahead of the one associated with the lens.

masjah Posted October 18, 2023 Share #8 Posted October 18, 2023 Jannes' picture reminded me. It was at the Wetzlar One Challenge that Leica arranged a factory tour at Solms (which was very good of them as they were on the point of moving) and a fellow attender on the tour posted a picture on the Forum of me standing next to this lens. (I'm not the one on Jannes' picture though!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
