Subject: Re: [Leica] Poll Country of Manufacture

With so much varied interest in the subject of Country of Manufacture I
think it would be educational to have a poll among the LUG.  I have no
time to conduct it (especially with all the recounts) but may I suggest
the following questions.

a.  Is it important to you where the Leica is manufactured
b.  Would you pay a premium for your country of choice    
c.  Would you buy a Leica if it was stamped "Made in Portugal"
d.  Do you think that Leica Management will convince the French fashion
house Hermes that a mink coat made from rabbit fur and manufactured in
Outer Mongolia will fool their customers ------ only joking.

Can somebody take this further.  I'm sure the results would be
important to Solms.

Alan
