I have so far 12 RFF members showing interets (some have shown committment) to meet in Wetzlar (Germany) on May 31/June 1 for a tour of Leica and with the hope to meet some Leica executives, in addition to visiting some prominent Leica store in town.
It is a long trip over there, but if you happen to live close by or if you happen to fly into Frankfurt (Germany) around that time, well, Wetzlar is located close to Frankfurt. It is a lovely small town, with an Old Town and a castle, and it also houses Leica AG.
The Leica people have bene very kind to me personally, and they have shown respect. The Leica Global Communications Officer is handling all issues for the visit, and she told me that Oliver Kaltner, the CEO, asked her to take care of all issues. If Kaltner is out of town, then definitely one of two Board Members (such as the CFO) will step in to meet me. I informed Leica that there will be "other people" there too and not just myself, so they know.
The good thing is that there will be one or two local Leica users from RFF present, and they know a lot about Leica AG and the Leica stores in Wetzlar, including the best coffee shops!
I will email Leica in mid-May a list of the attendees. Let me know by then if anyone here wants to join us.
