Last time I talked with Brenda Olesin at Leica USA about lenses, she told me
that all APO lenses have to go to Solms as they don't have the proper
equipment to work on them here in the US. So I believe you may have a point.

<< Speaking of higher production tolerances, would it be smarter to send
newer lenses to Leica for service, since they have the proper gear to center
and align everything? Some of the tolerances that Puts describes in his
books are
pretty darn tight and I wonder if they can be achieved with out the
specialized
(read very expensive) gear that Leica has in their factories. I have had
older lenses succesfully serviced by small shops, but I wonder if they are
able to work at the
level of precison that the new lenses requieres.
