No, and cheese from Wisconsin is not the same as cheese from Tillimook, 
Oregon. (But Tillimook's tastes better!)

If Leica is building sub-assemblies in Portugal, who cares? It's not like 
it makes any difference in the picture taken. If you're a collector, fine. 
But otherwise, the Portugal plant has proved it can do a good job. The M6 
is a wonderful camera. And you can't tell the difference in the final 
pictures whether the camera was made in Germany or Portugal. At least with 
cheese, there are differences.
