Hi Jeff,
As much as my earlier remarks were jest, we on the LUG have seen and know
the many questions that cross our screens regarding... "which is better,
Germany, Portugal, Canada etc."

But in reality with a move of the Noctilux production to Germany there will
undoubtedly be a flood of "Made in Canada" Noctiluxes on the market only
because many will perceive the production moving to Germany the lens will be
better.

Which of course all normal Leica using human beings will understand that
wont be the case at all. ;-)  Made here or on the dark side of the moon the
specs are the same  ERGO:   same lens no matter where it's assembled.

Hell maybe we should buy up all the "Made in Canada" models and create a
high cost demand for them when something screws up in the fatherland. ;-)
