I read somewhere, and regretfully I don\'t recall the source that design is by Leica, manufacture and assembly is by Panasonic, and quality control is by Leica. If this is all true, then the Pan-Leica lenses should pretty much hold up to Leica standards. Obviously, \'tho, for the price differential we should not expect the smaller replica to be fully as good as the original. Whatever - my 25 is very, very good, and my 45 is even better (contrast more crisp, colors more punchy) and I am happy with them .
