Dear friends, nothing mistake. Do you remember? "Leitz Means Precision. Worldwide". Gunther Osterloh was an very important person on Leitz establishment. He can't do about it error on this easy theme. Anyway, everybody can think about it what he/she want.
Flavio for your question you can call my friend of Milan to this number: +39 (0)289011338.
He can give you what you find. Don't worry, call him.
"When the M2 was in the production, the assemblers for this camera had to undergo a three and half year apprenticeship and work their way up to the assembly line". No such program exists today as it would likely be cost prohibitive.
Old Leitz craftmanship is the best.
Then, the Swiss Wild arrived and so the cost savings and the money gain was the first and most important choice for them, so bye bye to Leitz Family tradition and go to M4-2 (dog or bargain?) and plastic inside of the 35/2 Summicron (7lens, 1979), for only brief examples.
The start to the end of Leitz. The logo, infact no longer exist after 1988.
Modern no ever is the best.
Regards brothers and friends
