Even though I lived within sight of the Leitz factory, no one ever gave me a camera or a lens. I returned to Wetzlar in 1972 as a tourist, and again, no one gave me a camera or a lens. In 1995, I returned to Wetzlar, and found they had moved the factory to Solms. I requested a factory tour and was graciously accommodated. They gave me a front lens element from some kind of R lens that I still have on my desk, a little pin that says Leica, and a cup of coffee. Still no cameras or lenses, even though I was the famous Sonny Carter, Leica user. I promise that is all I ever have received free from Leica.
