Q lens designed by Konica-Minolta - seems unlikely

Does anyone have actual link where the lens is referred to as a KM design because I only remember seeing a commenter throwing that out there on LR without providing any evidence?

LR don't reference where they dreamt up the information from. I suspect it may be a bit like the best way of seeing the Loch Ness Monster, which is to look through the bottoms of two empty whisky bottles.

It came from photozone.de forum

"I join a camera & lens review talk group in China, there is a guy who have been working in Sony semiconductor told us Leica Q`s structure & looking is designed by Leica, its electronic system came from Panasonic, the Summilux lens was designed by Konica Minolta and produced by Panasonic. The CMOS is designed by Tower-Jazz Panasonic an new Israeli semiconductor company with 49% Panasonic share, and the foundry is STMicroelectronics same foundry with Leica M 240."

 

But really, who cares?

The camera is great, the lens is great, the pictures are great as long as the photographer is great
