This is not 100% correct. Parts and subsets of both M and R series are made in the Leica factory in Portugal, but the final manufacturing is made in Germany. The biggest added value (socalled "local content") is made in Germany, not in Portugal, hence the signature: "made in Germany". Most lenses, however, apart from the entry-level zooms, are developed as well as manufactured in Germany solely.
