Iain.Dawson@ea.gov.au (Iain Dawson):
     AS I understand the situation there is no longer any relationship 
     between Leica Camera Group (Solms) and Leica Microscopy and Scientific 
     Instruments Group (Heerbrugg). They are quite separate companies but 
     confuse everyone by using identical logos.  Does this make the current 
     discussion on modern microscope lenses off topic?  Or do these lenses 
     come from the same factory anyway?  

You're absolutely correct. But both the cameras and the microscopes 
trace their lineage through E. Leitz (though for stereomicroscopes, to 
Wild)... and this is the LUG, not the LCUG. So it seems adequately 
on-topic anyway.
