NO other camera company makes their higher end product there, they are

this.



The idea of "made in China" isn't what it used to be.

Can they make CRAP? Sure they can, But they will make anything
people want and TO THE SPECIFICATIONS they are asked to make it.

If you want a lens made, and hand-ground to some infinitesimal
fraction of perfection, that's what they'll do for you... if you want
a shoddy toy that falls apart before the next holiday season, they can
do that too.

Implying "communist china" is equal to "low quality" is a non sequitur
at best.
