George, are you really believing? If so the 'average' Leica buyer must be a bit stupid. Or let's say they are dreamers. Quality prooves by experience not by any statement/wish and is not necessarily dependend on price. Remember at Solms much of the assembly is still done by hand. C.'s and N.'s are mostly build by robots. Now I ask you, who is going to make more mistakes, man or robot? If Leica is checking every single peace of equipment, are they doing because all is so very well build? Or could it be that it is simply necessary? Christian
