farnz Posted May 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 28, 2009 That's a very pretty endoscope but it would seem to be a little uncomfortable for the patient. I hope that they at least remove the viewfinder and rangefinder before use <shudder>. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted May 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2009 Funny advertisement... I wonder if Leica co. has nothing to say about displaying so squarely their name in an ad... I think there isn't anymore any relation between the two companies (after the last batch of Noctiluxes... ) And the statement that ELCAN "was there at the invention of 35 mm photography" is someway strange...

veraikon Posted May 28, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 28, 2009 I wonder if Leica co. has nothing to say about displaying so squarely their name i It is not their name it is Leica Geosystems one...... And perhaps Elcan has paid before..... And the statement that ELCAN "was there at the invention of 35 mm photography" is someway strange And 160 years develloping at "Elcan" 160 years before Midland was rain forest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdai Posted May 28, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2009 Backing out from Canada was one of the biggest mistakes Leica has ever made IMO. Imagine what ELCAN can do and what Leica is lacking at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georg Posted May 28, 2009 Share #7 Posted May 28, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Splitting Leica into three different companies, making diversification much more difficult was the big mistake IMO. The production site in Canada is only interesting for special American markets, which won't buy from Wetzlar (one of the intentions of their facility in Midland). Lens-manufacturing to the highest standards was always done in Wetzlar/Solms (when the glass elements didn't contain certain materials...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlatkob Posted May 28, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 28, 2009 That is a very strange advertisement! It's difficult to make sense of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadHahn Posted May 29, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 29, 2009 Did anyone notice that in one episode of Battlestar Galactica Apollo used a rifle with an ELCAN scope? For the few hundred BSG fans who knew what ELCAN stood for it was a head scratching moment. Chad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted May 29, 2009 Share #10 Posted May 29, 2009 The ad makes perfect sense. ELCAN's heritage is Ernst Leitz. ELCAN is short for E. Leitz Canada. The company continues to make brilliant, cutting edge optics. The indeed trading on their heritage, which is fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
