HI Bill!
No, you're not wrong. Stefan was the Product Manager for all
products, as recently as September, last. Never count on reporters
to get it right!
In a post, two days ago, I said:
>During our meeting, at Photokina, it was apparent that while Steven

It was Stefan who was bored out of his mind... it was obvious that he
did not wish to be there. I'm not sure if that was because he has no
love of the "R" series, or simply because he knew, then, that he
would soon not be involved with it, so why bother.
Maike Harberts came on board, in (I believe) April of '06, and was
given the task of overseeing the R-10 development. As of early
October, her business card simply read "Product Manager". By now,
that may have changed, too!
I would imagine that if Maike is (I assume) now the Product Manager
for "R" and Stefan for "M", there is also a new PM for "Sport Optics"
(Binocs & scopes) and perhaps even one for the "D" system. Anybody
know who those folks might be?
Cheers!
