Re: [Leica] Noctilux Made in Canada

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question.  Ted, I took your advice
and went for it, and I am sure that the build quality will be everything
that I expect of something with the Leica name on it.  Sure feels solid.  I
now have all I need for the trip to the hospital tomorrow when I hope I will
be able to take some pictures of our new addition to the family (if he/she
arrives on schedule!)
