Thanks Chris...that 90, is that the big one that mounts to a tri-pod?

Leitz setup shop in Canada to avoid the higher costs of manufacturing
everything in Germany. The Noctilux was born there. I have a
90/f2 Made in Canada which is very sharp.

Your 4th version Summicron was a new optical design and lens body built in
Canada. Later Leica moved the 35 f/2 Summicron back to
Germany when they introduced the ASPH version.
