A day will come when some manufacturers make products with N***n and C***n brands and our descendents deplore it. Leica may not be an exception. ;-) I would assume that a German company that owns "Voigtlander" name will make a lot of profit if these products continue to sell well. BTW, Voigtlander has been an international brand name used by several camera manufacturers in the world. Cheers, Mikiro
