The Science Channel "How it's Made" / The M Leica

Hello, I just sent a request to the Science Channel to feature the M Leica, the story, the factory process, etc....

http://community.discovery.com/eve/f.../m/90619403001

If you would like to see the M Leica being built, go to the link and make your comments.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, they did do a segment on making lenses. They show some machining and glass grinding and polishing as well as assembly. It was not a lens I recognized but still interesting stuff. Joe

If this is the show called 'How its made' on European Discovery channel, than I've seen an episode with the assembly of a Bolex high quality movie camera as well.

Hope they consider the Leica M distinctive enough to feature as well...!

Hello there, I have recieved some emails from some people who like the idea of having a look at the manufacturing process of the Leica M series, I hope some of you find it interesting and maybe you can show your support by writing in. Thanks
