Over the years collectors always preferred German made product. Then customers started thinking that Canadian made product was in some way inferior to German made. After Leica was restructured the decision was made to transfer ALL lens production to Germany. About 2 years ago, we had some of the Leica management in the store. I was talking to one of these guys about production of all lenses moving to Germany. He replied that some of the best product ever made came out of Canada. The man that designed the 100 APO Macro, a superb lens, felt his best lens design was the 75/1.4! Many of the finest Leica lenses have come from Canada. Jeff Alford
