Yes Emilio, perhaps the Rollei 35 RF -still in production- is a Cosina body, however at least it uses the Zeiss/Rollei Sonnar 40mm and the same adapted Zeiss/Rollei Planar 2.8/80 used for the Rolleiflex FX TLR, both superb lenses.-

All the best

How about this strange mix?

My wife just got a pocket digital camera made by Panasonic, a Lumix model, but the zoom lens is marked:

LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 1:2.8-5.0/5.7-17.4 ASPH.

It's a nice little camera but I wonder where the Leica lens name came from.

The notation ASPH would indicate it has some more or less modern aspherical elements but there is no indication as to who actually made the lens. (No red dot).
