They don't do it - they say "Voigtländer, Germany, made in Japan". This 
is just plain silly, but definitely not fraud. Hell, if anybody is to be 
blamed, it's the old management of Voigtländer that let the company go 
broke. Go and find those bastards and hit them over the head with a 
Bessa-L (not much harm can be done this way ;-) )

Why can't you all just accept that the Bessa-* are a bunch of maybe 
nice, but surely funny cameras with a really silly name? Nobody is 
harmed by it and those in the know can actually have a lough or two at 
it. That's all about it.

bye, Georg
