Rolo Posted September 24, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) My information was that the code name was AFRIka, not ARFika, which expanded to: Auto Focus Reflex Intelligent kamera. One of us has this wrong, probably me again. Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Hi Rolo, Take a look here AFRIka or ARFika ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Rolo Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted September 24, 2008 It has to be AFRika otherwise it would be a pretty pointless acronym. Yep, I'm just gently pointing out to Andreas that the Forum header is incorrect. Have now checked and confirmed with the Leica Annual Report.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 24, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2008 I would dump this AFRIka or ARFika. It is just a code name that will confuse the hell out of folks. Just call it a S2 and be done with it. How many names do we really need in all of these camera's, just adding the code name makes it worse.

elansprint72 Posted September 24, 2008 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2008 Just like Rommel's Panzer army in North Africa, Afrika. Erm.... they were very good, got bashed this way and that and then lost. However my Dad brought home a few decent cameras that they no longer required.

wattsy Posted September 24, 2008 Share #11 Posted September 24, 2008 Just like Rommel's Panzer army in North Africa, Afrika. Yes. You're not meant to mention such things nowadays, but I must admit that the first thing that came into my head when reading about the codename was the Afrikakorps.
