16 September, 2009 � An Interview with Leica's Chief Optical Designer, Peter Karbe
During my visit last month with
Leica in Germany for a preview of the soon to be announced M9, S2 and X1, there also was an opportunity to interview Leica's head of optical design,
Peter Karbe.
There is now
a 35 minute long video of that session online during which we perimarily discussed the new lenses for the S series camera.
This concludes my coverage of the recent Leica product launches. We've had six featured product reports and videos in the past eight days. It's now time for me to take a break.
I'll be on vacation for the next week, and likely not online much, so you can catch up with any of the new material that you haven't yet read, or some of the more than 3,500 pages of essays, reviews, tutorials and articles on the site.

I cant wait to incorporate this new knowledge into my daily work".
