His wife told me once: „ I dont know what Erwin is doing for his work, but I know that he knows a lot of people that find his work outstanding“ Welcome, dear visitor!

Chris Nebard Posted October 9 Share #10 Posted October 9 I once sent an email to Mr Puts asking for his advice on the strong contrast of the Biogon 35ZM. Knowing his reputation, his status within Leica circles, and how busy he must have been, I wrote more in hope than expectation. He responded the next day, providing the exact information I needed. Aside from his knowledge, I was impressed by the friendliness and promptness of his response. Without knowing him at all, it told me a little about the kind of person he must’ve been. Your post has motivated me to look for some copies of his publications. Thank you. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vip Posted October 20 Share #11 Posted October 20 I had bayed all his book. I believe was the best in the field for the new argument and the new view on it. I am also professor in Ophthalmology and I have asked him permission to share with my resident 45 pages of one of his book about optical aberration because there is no better text to teach ophthalmologist what is important in eye optics. My gratitude to him 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get payed a lot, but the uppertunity of working with him was mind changing! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted October 25 Share #15 Posted October 25 27 minutes ago, Paulus said: Erwin Erwin and his wife were great supporters of the Leica Fellowship in the UK and they came to most weekend events - two a year. He would always do an impromptu session on any Leica developments. I got him to sign his books for me at the weekend at Beaumaris on Anglesey, Wales. Always great company - life can be cruel and his illness non-discriminatory. Here he is in 2012 at one of the Welsh narrow gauge stations. Fond memories! Welcome, dear visitor!
