Actually I'm surprised at the detail included by Alfred Schopf. Clearly deliberate though and no-one can chastise him except the owner of course. I really doubt that Leica Camera takes into account Holga as a significant manufacturer/competitor of film camera product! Nor disposable party favour cameras I guess ;-) The Cosina/Voigtlander products though would qualify. I have an idea that there may still be some production of a Nikon badged Cosina film camera in some markets (India?) Zeiss in Germany has discontinued their M mount bodies although not their lenses of course. They would have been more or less competing I guess.
