To have a "Made in Japan" label does not literally mean made in Japan. Back when compact 35mm cameras were all the rage, Kodak had some of their cameras manufactured in China. At the factory in China where they were made, the cameras with the Kodak label made on them all said "Made in China" on them. The Chinon version of the same camera said "Made in Japan" on it. Some sort of convoluted reason for this involving parts sources, design and who was supervising the assembly line if I remember correctly.

Probably true. They also put verb and nouns in a funny order too. :lol:

In the digital imaging world. we are asking a lot more out of smaller original images. The film equivalent would be asking a 35mm image to deliver the same level or detail and clarity as a medium or even large format camera. This requires complex lens designs and with complexity comes increased cost.

Years ago I was in a meeting where sales and marketing were demanding that a product be released now or they would lose sales, market share etc. Finally in exasperation the QA engineer asked "How come we never get time to do it right but we always have time to do it over?" If looks could kill, that guy would have been vaporized on the spot.

Talking point 1: According to my wife that fuzzy tail covers for a multitude of sins. Tremendous charisma in that tail.
Talking point 2: There is a logic behind Rupert being in your brain.
1) Rupert has entered the ether.
2) The ether is everywhere as it is the portion of the universe where nothing is.
3) At that atomic level our brains are mostly empty space. Nothing there.
4) Therefore Rupert occupies the vast majority of the total volume of our brain. Sorry, but we are all stuck with him.
Talking point 3: Otis is not enough of a name for a lens destined to become a classic. It should be something like the Otis Optimar-Planar Symmetrical or OOPS for short.
