<<<"Today only E. Leitz Wetzlar makes rangefinder Leicas, and seldom in

series rangefinders in Midland, Ontario.  Only a few protogype bodies
and some lenses are made in Wetzlar due to high labor costs.">>>>>>

Dick,

 I believe a lot of the folks in the LHSA are the ones out of date! :)

Hell I bet that'll get a rise out of them. :) The above clip from the
"Viewfinder" sounds like it's about ten years out of date and obviously writen
by someone who hasn't done any research.
