But you really can't compare American vs German quality as I think the Ektras were made in Stuttgart Germany and the lenses made by Schneider in Germany as well... much like the Retina cameras........ which are really quite nice little folders (I happen to have a couple in my collection) Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador Duane's Photographs of Ecuador http://ecuadorphotos.tripod.com
