Maybe more than a couple, but we have known for years that there were OEM
suppliers that made lenses for others. In the case of Leica, it has been
said that their zooms were made by Minolta. We know that others make lenses
for Nikon, and it is also said that Canon outsources the cheap lenses.
Judging from the CV lenses, that may not be a bad thing.
