On the Optical Autobahn: 2 hours northwest to Oberkochen for a quick visit to ZEISS. New products to be announced at IBC and in our IBC-Cinec issue. Gerhard Baier at the wheel: the landscape flies by in fast-forward 240 km/hr (150 mph) mode.
Another 2 hours northwest and we’re in Wetzlar at Leica Land–past the vast construction site where Leica is building a huge headquarters and manufacturing facility–to the CW Sonderoptic Leica Lens assembly facility already on site.
