Now, that would be a first! A rangefinder camera made  by Ernst Leitz and
rebranded to Minolta a sold at a *lower* price than Leica  demands. Now,
let's see if Zeiss makes some T* lenses and rebrands them as  Cosina. ;-)
 
 
 

It was only the CL 90 mm that was re-branded Minolta, not the  camera.  The 
Leica CL was co-branded in three ways: Leica CL,   Leitz-Minolta,  and 
Minolta 
CL, all were built in  Japan.
