Marc: It was not my purpose to teach you something, I only mentioned some facts referred in the Carl Zeiss web-site about the relationship between Oberkochen and Jena, it was an enlargement regarding my first post where I talked about legal issues between both companies. BTW, I have your book "Non-Leitz Leica Thread-Mount Lenses" and it's plenty of interesting info and excellent lenses and cameras images.
