Interestingly Frank, both of the more expensive (Leica priced) lenses are 
made in Germany by Zeiss. IMO this reflects the higher wages paid to skilled 
German workers - a fact of life for Leica as well.
Another interesting point here is that the Zeiss lenses do not come with 
hoods, which are several hundred dollars additional for the non German 
lenses.
