Just back from three great days in Wetzlar, Germany, with Carl Zeiss. No birds. Just optics. A very informative two-day seminar and factory tour which really brought home the reasons why top tier optics cost what they do. Expensive? Relatively speaking, they’re not. Find out why here. To Suzanne Challinor (Cley Spy), Richard Caplan (Richard Caplan), Ryan Longley (Focalpoint Optics), Tim Strivens (Viking Optical), Richard Cross (London Camera Exchange) and Paul Longley, Gary Hawkins and Walter Schwab (Zeiss) – a big thank you for being such good company over the last couple of days!
