Drop it, Austin. Just close the thread. You
want to believe in fable and fantasy, and so be
it. You are free to believe that ALL Contax RTS
lenses were made in Germany if you wish. That does not make it so.
Production started in Germany and moved to
Japan. There was never any dual production
(Germany and Japan at the same time). Zeiss and
Kyocera seem firm on that. But you do not need
to believe the truth if you do not wish to do so.
