Very much the issue and one which we all have long known here on the LUG but
more so the issue for me is not which exact factory a lens is made in in
which part of the world but PRICE POINT.
A lens costing hundreds is not a lens costing thousands.
Dollars that is.
Glass type choices.
Tolerances.
Quality control.
