Is Fuji Going More Plastic?
Just have a looksie: Fuji is moving some production to the Philippines,
and that's one thing but at the same time they replace data engraved on the hardware with stickers. Sooo... What's happening on the inside of these lenses? http://www.fujirumors.com/wp-content...-comparison-72 0x527.png Let me make myself clear on that I don't think that gear made in the Philippines would be of less quality than gear made in Japan based on the location of the production...

Why not? The whole idea is to cut-costs. Making it cheaper (labour and parts) is part of that. Nikon's latest 10-20mm lens has a...plastic bayonet! Never thought I'd see that in an ultrawide zoom. That Nikkor is a DX lense... So you think that Fuji is lowering it's standards to harmonize them with Nikons? -- teleportation kills |
