Thanks for your precision, Jean-Michel. However, in 1956, on the occasion
of the 200th anniversary of the company, the FAMILY issued a press release
printed in almost all camera magazines of the era which asked two things:
a) Don't kill yourself over the umlaut, and,
b) There is no "h" in the name.
The family suggested the following order:
a) Voigtlander for those whose fount selections does not include an "ä"
b) Voigtländer where an "ä" is available.
c) Voigtlaender is a third option, of which the family disapproved.
