In Australia I bought a Sinar and pronouced it 'sin-nar'. I was corrected to 'see-nar' by the professionals. I wanted to sound as if I knew what I was doing so I changed to see-nar. When you have no substance, impressions are everything - I think I'll make that my motto!
I can't even say "scheimpflug". Can anyone help?
Alix pronounced her name "Alique or Aleke". Asterix The Gaul is "Asterique or Astereke" The Gaul. Is the camera to end in "ique or eke", I do not know.
Yes, "Zeiss Ikon - tsice EE cone" and just to confirm, the Zeiss people got the greek "Ikon" correct, my Greek mother-in-law paints them.
Meanwhile, I am sure that this is the correct German pronunciation:
"Voigtlander - FAWCHT lahn der"
But, it is "HAY lee ar", correct?
Everything in Wisconsin is pronounced Favre, except for Sade, which is pronounced chic - but I may be wrong about some of that, so don't hold me to it.
