The R8 and the M6 are assembled in Solms and get their final  quality 
control there. The parts are from various sources mostly European 
(Switzerland, Germany itself including former East Germany etc). Some 
parts are pre-assembled in Portugal. But every camera (M and R) is 
subjected in Solms to the rigorous quality testing Leica is known for.
Might I suggest that is it no longer the country of origin that is 
important but only the quality of design, material choices and quality of 
production and standards of quality zontrol.
