My nomination for the most off-topic post of 2001!

The first question I asked myself was whether he left the "n" off of "Dam" on purpose or not.

Maybe it uses a Leica to take a picture of the dam when it collapses. Makes sense they'd use a Leica to get good pics.

Or, sneak pictures of couples out on the dam doing more than sightseeing.

Or, maybe they just want to take a picture of any thief who steals their dam.

I think this post is a little less off-topic than it first appears. Vido, I suggest you check out the web page for Leica-Geosystem's Dam Monitoring in Italy. Also, please take a look at the Leica-Geosystems Worldwite page, which has more appropriate contact information for you. Good luck, Vido. :)

How about this for a Leica:

Neils,

Does it come in black, and what about TTL flash? Looks like the film might be a little easier to load....

Wow Niels! Leitz did all that and just now were able to release a motor for the M that works?

There are 3 separate Leica companies, all sharing the same brand, but with no other affiliation. Too bad that when they went their separate ways, the camera company seemingly did not retain any of the engineers.

You've got to figure that the careers of the camera body development engineers at Leitz/Leica, over the last 40 years, have been a lot more boring than the Maytag repairman's.

Can you imagine beginning at Leitz in 1964, a bright-eyed mech. engg. graduate, just after the M-4 was introduced? Today, you would be in your mid 60s, approaching retirement, with your life's work consisting of having slipped in a metering circuit into the body, and having raised the top deck 2mm.

Is anyone surprised that Leica is so slow to innovate? With a corporate culture like that, you've got to figure its impossible to import or retain any mech. engg. talent.

Now, optics is obviously a whole different story.

I speculate, but I think I am not far from the truth...
