Greg,

This is a lovely lens.  I am sure you will be
happy.

I believe the lens barrel is by Cosina, the
elements by Carl Zeiss Oberkochen and the
assembling by Rollei in Germany, so it is "Made
in Germany".

So many 40mm to choose from now ... just select
your maximum aperture - Leica and Minolta f/2,
Rollei f/2.8, Cosina Voigtlander f/4! 

Colin
