Stayed at the "Ernst Leitz Wetzlar" hotel in the Leitz Park complex, ate breakfast at "Oskar's", had a tour of the museum and the factory and strolled around Wetzlar. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/kiisaka/europe2023/IMG_5069.jpeg.html The older former Leitz complex is now occupied by Leica Microsystems, on Ernst Leitz Strasse, while there really seems to be no sign of Leitz/Leica left in the neighboring Solms any more. I was a little surprised to see that Zeiss had a significant presence in Wetzlar as well. The Carl Zeiss Wetzlar was formerly the Moritz Hensoldt, and continues to produce binoculars and other scopes. -- Ken Iisaka first name at last name dot org or com
