Yes, I think they are just throwing away the opportunity for sales. We who
know Leica stuff, know the only really good lenses come from Made in
Germany only, I can't imagine they'd be so stupid to go back to having
lenses made in Canada. :)

After all, what do Canadians know about assembling and designing lenses!:)
Beer maybe, but Leica lenses? Really! :)

I know there were rumours about the Noctilux being designed and made there,
but then if that were true, how come they moved it out of that dimy little
Ontario backwoods town somewhere in the north? :)
