On my trip to Solms this summer I am hoping to dig up more on this subject at the Leica museum. Hopefully it will be enough for an article.

They have been circulated and accepted as facts and it takes a great effort to set the record straight. That is especially the case when highly regarded historians are the source of such errors.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-42594482505113709772013-04-01T12:06:19.558-05:002013-04-01T12:06:19.558-05:00Reader Theseus12 writes:

One big problem is the fact that off-the-cuff, unsubstantiated and erroneous comments on any forum will often turn up in searches for years and gain veracity with time. And there is a strange lack of critical review when something turns up on a Google search which results in the errors being repeated on and on. I was corrected (and rightly so) regarding a statement I made on my site regarding Franz Kochman. Peer review simply will never exist across the internet so it is important to correct errors as quickly as they are discovered.<br /><br />David Tomei<br />__________________<br />L David Tomei<br />Genazzano, Roma<br />ItaliaLEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-60336021724033456532013-03-29T23:53:12.118-05:002013-03-29T23:53:12.118-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ernesto De Quesadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225583087157896609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-90683498772020566362013-03-29T23:53:09.980-05:002013-03-29T23:53:09.980-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ernesto De Quesadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225583087157896609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-33500396060283118112013-03-29T12:00:04.151-05:002013-03-29T12:00:04.151-05:00We should not be too critical of earlier Leica his...We should not be too critical of earlier Leica historians.
