Damn, now why would they go and do that having them made in Canada? Don't they remember the hassles over the M4 being made there and that big heavy Noctilux lens had to be moved to Germany because the Canadian's designed it, but the made in Canada caused such howl! For heavens sake you'd think they'd have learned by now that no Leica products are as good as those made in Germany! My goodness just wait until the Leica world hears about this one, it pales beside the three year wait for the R8 motor. (snicker) :):) I just have to take my medication, how could they possibly do this to us? We the Leica users of the world. Made in Canada you say? Pity!:) You guys and gals had better all have a good sense of funny bone humour with this one. But then.......... I bet it'll get wild! :) Ted Grant This is Our Work.
