andybarton Posted April 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 16, 2009 Welcome to the forum It doesn't matter where it was made, the quality is just the same. German lenses are just as good as the Canadian ones. My 90 Summicron-R was made in Canada and it's a fabulous lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted April 17, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 17, 2009 I agree 100% with Andy's comment. A superb lens. Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 17, 2009 German lenses are just as good as the Canadian ones. Ken, I have my doubts. I think they made a mistake moving everything back to the third world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budrichard Posted April 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 17, 2009 I have one in chrome and not only is as good optically as the 90mm ASPH by my informal testing but it the most beautiful of all the Leica lenses. A truly impressive piece of workmanship.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted April 17, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) To answer your question I think some were made in Canada and some in Germany. If you are a collector that will make a difference to you. If you're a user, German and Canadian lenses are the same quality, and some of the most sought-after lenses in the Leica stable were not only made in Canada but designed there as well. Welcome to the forum BTW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twittle Posted April 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 17, 2009 and some of the most sought-after lenses in the Leica stable were not only made in Canada but designed there as well. The legendary Noct and the venerable 75 Lux, to name but two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabasis Posted April 25, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 25, 2009 I have this lens (a 3-cam version) and it is just great. The only negative about it is the very poorly designed lens cap which I've nearly lost three times now. A great lens for a moderate (for Leica) price on the used market. Stop it down and shoot some slides. Colors are vibrant and it is very sharp. One of my favorite lenses. JCA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
