Watch out for the Russian ones.

Otherwise there's no difference. Each lens (version) was designed one 
time, with the main team either in Wetzlar/Solms or Midland. Then it 
was generally manufactured in one country or the other. Sometimes 
production was moved part way through the run, but the quality was 
the same.

At certain times the main design team was either in Germany or 
Canada, and the designs from that era came from that country. The 
design team and production were generally located in the same country.
