Leitz Canada). The lineup of current production Canadian-made M-lenses is: 21 2.8 Elmarit 50 1.0 Noctilux 75 1.4 Summilux 90 2.0 Summicron 135 2.8 Elmarit Of course, many older versions of these lenses were made in Germany as well as Canada.

A friend told me that 75f1.4 and 90f2.0 were designed earlier, thus, they were made in Canada only. I plan to buy a M6 + 24ASPH + 75f1.4 or 90f2.0. Any suggestion? I am a documentary photographer.
