[Leica] DMR: Hands on

[sethrosner at direcway.com (Seth Rosner)]

Richard, Ralph Hagenauer is indeed an "official" Leica person. He is based 
at Solms where he does the Leica Akademie. I was lucky enough to think early 
in the year of asking Stefan Daniel - head of product management at Leica - 
if he thought the factory would support a mini-Leica Akademie at the annual 
meeting. Result: both Stefan and Ralph were in Williamsburg as was Christian 
Erhardt from Leica USA - Northvale with boxes filled with loaner equipment, 
cameras, lenses etc,  for us to use (I got the new 50/1,4 Summilux-M), one 
of the very real benefits of LHSA membership and attendance at annual 
meetings.

We plan another Leica Akademie at the annual meeting in San Francisco next 
October and are hoping to run a post-meeting two- or three-day visit to 
Yosemite where we can all become serious ansel adamses! I have already been 
in touch with the Birdman of Sacramento, our own Doug Herr, about the San 
Francisco meeting.
