Recently David Young and I had an email conversation about the possibility of
having digital R module workshops in the USA and Canada. David suggested that
I contact Mr. Christian Erhardt of Leica USA and suggest that Leica indeed
entertain a series of such work shops here. Mr. Erhardt has responded, and has
given David permission to post his reply. Since David is involved with house
buying and is limited in his computer access, David in turn has suggested that
I take care of the details of posting the information. I have removed a few
sentences that point out that Leica has a long waiting list for the digital
module, but I think that the exact number on order should probably be up to Mr.
Erhardt to reveal in a forum of his choosing. Let me say that the number is
quite appreciable, and is very encouraging to those of us who support Leica.
Note that Mr. Erhardt points out that Leica's first priority will be to supply
those customers who are on the digital module waiting list. When the list is
satisfied, modules will be available to present the course(s) noted above. Mr.
Erhardt hopes to be able to give the course 3-4 months after regular delivery
of the module begins. With the deletions I have noted, our exchange is
reproduced for you all below.

Hello Mr. Erhardt:
I have noted that Leica is offering several courses on the new R Digital Module
in Germany. Many of your dedicated Leica R users here have been waiting
anxiously for the R Digital Module to be released. Now that the long wait
appears over perhaps Leica would find it convenient to offer courses at several
locations in America and Canada. I think the courses would be well attended,
but Leica could easily determine interest by posting a statement of possible
course offerings and locations on the Leica Forum and several "R User " web
sites. If interest appears reasonable then Leica might consider offering the
courses at a fee that would defray much of the entire cost. Indeed, it is
entirely possible that Leica would incur very little out of pocket expenses,and
Leica and their devoted adherents might benefit considerably.
Best wishes,
Dr. Elliot Puritz
Mr. Erhardt replies:
Thanks so much for your email. - Yes we are very much in favor of Digital
workshops on the Digital Modul R. In fact we have already talked with a couple
of photographers who are very knowledgeable when in comes to digital
photography and would be able to do these workshops for us. - We are currently
doing all the preparations to get this going as soon as possible. -
As you can imagine, a Leica academy like the one in Germany will always have
more sample units than we have and therefore we have so far only offered
workshops in Germany.
We expect to receive larger quantities of Digital Modul R's starting in late
April. Early deliveries in April will be priorities for several venues in
America and Canada.
Therefore I expect to be able to offer workshops early summer to mid summer, as
soon as we have more cameras in the market.
( As noted above, I have removed some of Mr. Erhardt's message at this point ).
Thanks so much for your interest in Leica. If you have any questions I might be
able to answer, please let me know.
