All it proves is they don't really know the difference in the first place and put on this big act that any piece of Leica gear not manufactured in the Fatherland is inferior. When in fact it's a pile of crap! Each time I see this stuff come up it gets me a tad riled as I read what they say as, Canadians are not as good at puttiing Leicas together as Germans! Hell we kept the place going with what was done in Midland and we designed and made some of the best lenses during the past years. So if someone starts giving you BS about German assembled is better than Canadian, just tell them to stick it in they're ear! Or rectal orfice! ted
