Advertisement Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Hi gvaliquette, Take a look here Leitz or Leica. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
leicapfile Posted November 10, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2006 Because in 1988 or so the company changed ownership. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvaliquette Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks, Jerry. The question was WHEN, not WHY. I do appreciate your response. Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vol72 Posted November 10, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 10, 2006 Does anyone know when the markings on the lenses changed from "Leitz Wetzlar" to "Leica"? The Leitz Company changed its name to Leica in 1986, but it did not move from Wetzlar to Solms until 1988. Leica Camera AG remained part of the Leica Group along with Leica Geosystems AG and Leica Microsystems GmbH until it split off in 1996. Leica Geosystems AG and Leica Microsystems GmbH split apart in 1998. I believe that lens markings changed shortly after the official name change in 1986.
