They are assembled into fully functional M-pieces in Germany. I don't think this arrangement will change until a new version of the Noctilux comes out. Considering the numbers it doesn't make sense to shift production to Germany, and I don't think the operation in Midland will just give the machinery to Leica Solms. So you will continue to get lenses with elements that have seen the first light of day in Southern Ontario, but weren't able to focus properly until they came together in Solms. - -- * Henning J.
