Leica does not make much in Germany these days. Most of their stuff is 
actually produced in Portugal, with only some assembly activities and 
final inspection done in Germany. Solms is by and large an R&D and 
corporate HQ shop.
They sure seem to be making lenses there and also M adjustments and final 
assembly.  Either that or they are sure waisting money with the show and 
tell.
