Current production has 'Made in Germany' printed instead. This lens, to the best of my knowledge, has always been made in Germany. My own APO 90/2.0 ASPH., one of the first batch imported into Hong Kong in May 1999, has 'Made in Canada' printed on the box, and 'Made in Germany' stamped on the lens. Early production of the R8 Motor Drive Charger had no country of origin printed on the box, recently Leica started putting the 'Made in China' labels on the charger boxes. The charger itself has never been labelled the country of origin.
