Hi Chris ...
I doubt it because a lot of gear with the Leica name on it is actually
made by Minolta. Some of thier P&S cameras are reputed to be rebadged
Papanese cameras. As for Zeiss lenses, many are made in Japan by
Kyocera. And Leica has not been strong in the manufacture of zoom
lenses. But, as I said, I'd like to be wrong about this.
