Dear Eric,
I could be wrong (have been, goodness knows, in the past) but I think the
Noctilux continued (continues) to be made in Canada for Leica by Hughes
which bought out Elcan. Same was true for the 90mm Summicron until about a
year ago. Just for interests sake, does anybody know for sure. Erwin? Marc?
Best Regards
Howard
