Selling out? I hope they told him that Japanese-German friendship and
cooperation went back at least 30+ years...:-)

Hi Slobodan:

The Leitz finder in the catalog 30+ years ago - #14,186 - was made in
Japan, I believe by Minolta. I have, from a good friend at Leitz NY at
the time,  a very funny letter from a Leica customer complaining
bitterly about discovering his newly-purchased right-angle finder is
made in Japan and that Leitz is "selling out." My strong guess is that
the Minolta finder will indeed fit Leicaflex and R models.
