Maybe try again with Dr Kaufmann. One approach might be, "Oh the last guy said that Leica shouldn't support this!" "Did he now, well we'll just see about that!" On the other hand, if you mention that SKL was your friend...... ;-) I'm really surprised that LFI didn't take it up though. Like the ThumbsUp, Streetshooter, and some books that are offered now.

Alastair made a presentation about it to Stephen and then nothing happened. I wrote to Stephen pointing out that the photographs in the foyer of the Solms office did not emphasize the image quality that Leica lenses were capable of producing. (They were in fact out of focus grainy swirls of sh*t). Stephen did find the time to write back to me that it was Leica policy to allow creative vision to the photographers they worked with. But there was never any response to Alastair's presentation. Very strange in my opinion. Keep those Alicante pictures coming by the way.
