Can't disagree more strongly. When I bought my Leica, it was because I liked the handling and most importantly, the photographic results. Certainly I want the camera to be able to take some abuse over a long period of time, but photographic quality is paramount. I don't care that Germany once made cool-looking Stukas. THAT action means nothing to me when I shoot photographs and exhibit them. Absolutely meaningless. And somehow the fact that parts of my Leica might have been made by "donkey-riding" Portugese (your words) doesn't tarnish my photographs in the slightest. Because that's ALL my eyes and those of my audience cares about.
