Carl Merkin: Back to the Source; Wetzlar, Solms and Beyond

The Leica Historical Society of America took the ultimate Leica trip for our most recent annual meeting last September … Germany! We chose Wetzlar, the original location of the Ernst Leitz Company, as our home base for the week. We toured a number of historic sites in the area, had a wonderful cruise on the Moselle including a winery tour and spent a day at the Photokina show in Cologne, but the real highlights for me were the Leica Factory tour of the production facility at Solms and the day I spent at the Leica Akademie.
