I enjoyed it and look forward to more. Thank you for adding English subtitles. I agree with the many suggestions for additional topics and would particularly like to see one about future plans, models, soft and firmware updates.

[simonxpan]

It is always great to see how things are made. More please!

Thanks a lot, I enjoyed it. I am very interested in the coming R10 ...

I thouroughly enjoyed it, Andreas, although I had to access it through Youtube in order to make it play. Would love to see almost anything conerning Leica that you find interesting. Thank you for your efforts!

[elmar-bill]

I thought it was interesting to have a virtual tour of the Solms factory. It is good to see Leica M film cameras are still being made. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the shop and the skill of your workers.

Keep up the great work!

Hallo,

 

Ich möchte zuerst mal sagen daß ich die Sendung spitze fand!

 

Als Holländer ist mir noch ein wenig Deutsch aus meinem Schulzeit geblieben, aber: Could you guys please supply subtitles with the next episode?

 

Obviously I would not necessarily need them myself, but a lot of folks would enjoy the show far more if they were not just watching it but understanding it as well.

 

Liebe Grüße aus Holland,

It was quite interesting. I would have liked it to be more technical but maybe I'm in the minority, As for what to cover next, I think the current and future digital products and lenses are of most interest.

[Michel Boda]

Excellent initiative!

 

Would like to see how Digilux 2 and M8 is manufactured.

Also would be interested why sensor of Digilux 2 cannot be changed to a bigger one.

 

please don't let us wait for weeks before next broadcast

Hi,

 

After we released our first L-Camera TV with our video shoot in Solms we counted 25,000 viewers and many websites linked to it.

L-Camera TV #1 - Does Leica still make MP and M7?

 

We received plaudit and constructive criticism - so L-Camera TV is going to be continued.

 

My question:

How did you like the first video and what are your ideas for the next shows of L-Camera TV?

 

Regards

Excellent keep it up.

I very much enjoyed watching (and contributing to the subtitles!)

 

I don't think the Digilux 2 line is practical , but if our friends at Solms allow you access to the S2 line, I'd be interested to see it too

 

BUT, if it were the R10 line... I'd come over and hold the lights myself

[kschwarz]

Anything related to the S2 would be great. Not just manufacturing, but also demonstrations on features, handling, etc. Eventually, you could fill out the Leica TV offerings with instructional videos on the use of the M8 and DL4. Lastly, some insight into the future development path for the M-cameras would be welcomed by this eager audience. Thank you for your great work so far.

I enjoyed seeing it, but I would have like to have seen more close ups, more tight shots of the processes. My ala carte Leica M7 is the best camera I never use. Sad. Still, I vow to keep it forever!

Video was excellent, and the Leica forum is the logical place for it.

 

Perhaps this initiative could be developed together with Leica's marketing department? I shall suggest some more ideas along those lines in a separate post.

 

Other video ideas:

 

1) Doco on Leica history. Oscar Barnack, development from 1925 to present.

 

2) Interview with top Leica people on the future of the company.

 

3) Work of top Leica photogs, past and present.

 

4) Practical advice on video: how to get the best out of your Leica.

 

Best of luck,

 

David

I liked it. Please give us some history of the Leica on video and also more on lenses.

[treeplanter]

This first Leica TV presentation was excellent. I'm glad to see this forum going the internet 2.0 route and branching out into something more than the usual written rants and raves. As for the future, it's always interesting watching how something is built. Next time show us how Leica makes lenses.

It's a good start. Please don't stop keeping us updated about Leica.

[Dougg]

Well, given the above, this will appear an unusual answer... I had no reason to doubt the MP and M7 were still in production, so I saw no point in seeing proof. Didn't watch the video.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[jonathan_r]

Excellent presentation, thanks.

 

Am I re-assured that Leica will always (a) manufacture new, and ( support existing, film cameras? No, not really. The attention each new camera gets is heart-warming, but we saw only 3 technicians, each well rehearsed and skilled at their tasks. What happens when they leave? Will they be replaced? I would like to see interviews (in print better than video) with the Leica top brass, freely discussing the likely scenarios for the future of Leica, and what the bottom line is for owners of film bodies and (especially) M-mount lenses.
