Hi Guys,

When I visited the Schneider factory last summer I asked about the production 
of lenses for Leitz/Leica.  I was told that Schneider had produced the whole 
lens --glass, mount, etc., -- complete with Leitz/Leica engravings.  This was 
true for all of the Super Angulons in M and R mounts, as well as the 
PA-Curtagon in R- mount.  I believe that then only one currently being 
produced is the 28mm PC-Super Angulon, which was on display in one of the 
showcases outside of the President's office at Schneider.
