I was thinking about picking up the above as an alt lens to mount on a Canon 1Ds mkIII. It looks like many examples are creeping north of $600 on ebay and amazon. My question isn\'t so much whether the lens is worth it as if there\'s a value or quality difference in the lenses that are manufactured in Canada.
No knock on Canada, but should I expect less quality and cheaper prices for Leitz Canada lenses or were they all manufactured there?
Specifically, I\'m looking at a Leitz Canada serial number beginning with 290, which is a type II version.
