The answer to this question is a very emphatic NO WAY.  Ask anyone 
who is using a Noctilux, 90mm Summicron-R, 280mm f/4.8 Telyt, 
180mm f/3.4 APO-Telyt or any of the several other lenses made for M 
and R cameras.  There will be differences in *generations* of Leica 
lenses, some of which will be made in Germany, some in Canada and 
for the R bodies, Japan and France too ... they all must meet Leica's 
optical and mechanical standards regardless of country of origin.
