A great thing to check out if they have all these museum pieces and such but they also have museum pieces and such and ledgers and you name it in Solms. Where you can watch them make Leicas now. But with no supervision from the Leitz family who all died off in 86. I can live with that. Changed it's name from Leitz to "Leica" in 88; only the camera division with the others unfortunately sold off. http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
