All Noctilux's come from Canada. They are all existing stock from before the Canadian factory was shut down.

Are there any German Noctilux that is made recently?

-- Mitchell Li (mitchli@pacbell.net), May 10, 2002.

Ive read from different places that the current version is now German made, though most suppliers are still selling old stock which is from Canada.

no one has ever seen a current production german noctilux. i don't think they are even set up to make them in germany.

The Canadian facility was sold, not shut down. See www.elcan.com
