Actually, they are the same people. Leica Solms is merely an assembly and testing area, besides this marketing, pr and other administration departments are located there. A lot of Leica parts still are made in Wetzlar (which is only three miles away from Solms). When Leica made the M6J, they really activated machinery last used to make M3 parts. However: 70 Percent of the assembly of any M6 is done in Portugal. But I think they do it that way at least for the last 15 years. Ben - is the origin of a product where it is assembled or where the parts are made? My PC has parts made in a half dozen countries & assembled in Thailand. Do you believe what the German gentleman has written above or have the workers from Wetzlar moved to Portugal Joy Lindstrom
