But, Tom, your evidence does NOT support Seth. Seth stated, rather baldly, that Leica, today, has QC problems which Leitz did not experience. Your evidence points only to the present, not to the past. The burden is still on Seth to show us some hard figures -- not anecdotes! - -- from the '20's, and '30's, and so forth. The humorous part of this is that Erwin, whom some ill-spirited souls have driven from the LUG, could have enlightened us more than a bit on this, as he DOES have some information on the record for QC at Leica in the earlier years. But, then, we can live in a universe of superstition, myth, and calumny if we wish. I choose not to, and I must admit that every new purchase I have made from Leica since 1986 has been perfect with one exception, and that was IMMEDIATELY cured, to my complete satisfaction. But, my experience counts no more than does yours, Tom, or anyone else's: what counts is the overall statistics, and I suspect this will only come out in that huge defamation lawsuit ...
