Hello, folks.

A day will come when some manufacturers make products with N***n and C***n
brands and our descendents deplore it. Leica may not be an exception. ;-)  I
would assume that a German company that owns "Voigtlander" name will make a
lot of profit if these products continue to sell well.

BTW, Voigtlander has been an international brand name used by several camera
manufacturers in the world.

Cheers,
