I was on an assignment today, shooting digital stills working with an 
in-house videographer from the parent office of the company I was 
shooting at.   She had a Panasonic Mini-DV 3 chip camcorder, and it 
had a Leica lens on it.  A Leica Digimar or something.  On the Lens 
barrel it said "Lens Made In Germany".  Now that doesn't sound like 
"putting Leica's name on Panasonic lenses", although I do believe 
that the lenses for the Panasonic still digital cameras are made by 
Panasonic or a subcontractor to Leica spec's if they have the Leica 
name on them, but the Camcorders, well it does say Made In Germany on 
the lens.
