The Leica folks have bettered the Minolta designs in more recent vintages of lenses." came from you, without a shred of evidence supporting it. Just a blanket statement. I suggest, in order to settle the argument, you post the source of your information. And please list those lenses that are Minolta lenses, and those that are not, and those that were "BETTERED" by Leica. I'm sure the LUG is interested in any new information about Leica. Especially information that has not surfaced before. As with the M lenses, we ALL want to know which version, of the same lens, is best. And since you seem to know where they were designed and manufactured, please don't be shy. Tell us which lenses and where you got this information. Looking forward to your explanation. Jim
