You mean people here will not care about “Made in Germany”?

Yes, some might care the MIG label.

I don't if I am not collecting the lens but using it.
On condition these MIP lenses have to be well built.

BTW I am still using a Summarit f2.5 "plastic barrel" lens.

Any comment on the Summarit?

I used to shoot portraits frequently with this Summarit 75mm f2.5 with my early M8 for its enhanced crop.

I appreciate its light weight and small size. Price wise it's a low-end lens but the built quality isn't disappointing the brand's reputation in my opinion.

Image quality is satisfactory to me. Typically new lens: sharp.

F2.5 is always enough for me to separate the subject from the background.
