Cosina is really pushing the limits of credibility in it's "Voightlander, 
since 1776" hype, but hasn't Leica  also been guilty of lesser
misrepresentations? I believe the original LEICA CL body was "Made in Japan"
by Minolta. Also, weren't the early R series cameras based on a Minolta
design and "Made in PURTUGAL" as well.
