Just to stir things up a bit, I thought I'd ask: WHERE HAVE THE BEST LENSES COME FROM? It was going to be, WHICH FIRM HAS MADE THE BEST LENSES? but there are too many to poll for. So this poll is by country.
I do not ask, WHO MAKES THE BEST LENSES? but rather, WHO HAS MADE THE BEST LENSES? So historical perspective can be important. I also don't define 'best' -- YOU get to decide about speed, image quality, production quality control, specialized uses etc. Are the best lenses in spy satellites? Phone cams? Lighthouses? Where?
EDIT: Oops, I left off Korea. Sorry, Samyang.
