Germany assembled, made in Portugal? wow

@Cheekyguille

That may be shocking to us at first, especially to those of us who don't shoot Leica because we have thousands of dollars burning holes in our pockets, but save every penny we can to shoot a system we trust and believe in for many reasons. But I don't find this to be negative. Erwin Puts explains that it is not at this point German vs Other material (lenses or bodies) that is making the quality differences. But rather the amount of error allowed and level of quality control.

I would like to see how they are made from scratch also and I would like to see a similar piece on the a la carte cameras.

[filmmel]

i'd really like to see how the cameras are made from scratch.

Die Vorteile des Arbeitens mit der MP liegen u.a. in ihrer vollmechanischen Funktion & der Möglichkeit einer leisen, verzögerungsfreien & hochpräzisen Auslösung ihres Verschlusses aus der Hand begründet. Das potentiell mögliche Realisieren von Verschlusszeiten unterhalb des 1/30sec-Index lässt sie für jene zum bevorzugten Werkzeug werden, welche sich blind auf die pysikalischen Grundlagen der Photographie verstehen. Zweifellos die beste, vollmechanische Sucherkamera der Welt!

totally true the MP is probably the best mechenical rangefider still in production
