However, I am confused about various information I got. Some said lenses made in Germany is better, some said only old Summicron-M were made in Germany, some said there is no Leitz Canada anymore, and yet, I am seeing "Made in Canada" engraved on the lenses on Leica's own brochure (printed in 92, I think) ... I wanted to make sure that I know what I am getting before spending near 1k to buy even an used Leica lens. I would appreciate any help to clarify this. Thanks.
