Your Statement: " In practice, however, when you move manufacturing abroad, you do _not_get the same quality " is totally wrong. When you say" Abroad, you sound like you don't really " Abroad", but third world countries. What would you call 3rd world countries? Taiwan? Singapore ? Portugal? Scotland? Well............ Where do you think most of the electronic computer components American, German, or other "non abroad" countries have developed are manufactured? Abroad as you call it. These components are to the same high standards as if they are made in the originating country. If you consider Leitz and Canada. Many Leitz lenses originated in Canada and where later also manufactured in Germany. Would you call the German made products inferior because they where made abroad (with respect to Canada)? Look at companies like Adidas, Hugo Boss, IBM, National Semiconductor, Hewlett Packard, Nike. The list goes on and on. Do you think this companies accept and then sell rubbish ? It just depends on the Quality assurance. Nothing else Don't forget, People in other countries are not all sloppy workers. If This is your attitude, then, this days, you are extremely restricted to what you can by. You are of course saying, that all the Leica lenses available today, which contain glass made in Japan (Abroad) are of inferior Quality. Then I would suggest, you by only lenses made in Japan, they are not made Abroad. At least from the Japanese point of view.
