Here's a cool video showing how Leica makes lenses, and a few interesting facts about production. I've toured the Leica factory in Solms five times now, but I am no less amazed at how much time and care goes into each and every lens produced there.
If you are ever in the Frankfurt area, you should certainly arrange for a tour. Contact me if you need any help making the arrangements.
