Re: Giving up on the FA 28-70/4

[Alan Chan]

I believe glass separation has nothing to do with the manufacturing origin, 
but the fact that those lenses were designed and manufactured to be cheap, 
the FA28-70/4 in this case. Some even had aperture blades not working 
properly. There are reason why some lenses were selling so cheap.

It was just a thought, I believe some are manufactured elsewhere than 
Japan.
The sample looks pretty bad, makes me wonder about quality in modern 
lenses,
I have lenses >30 years old never a problem working fine.
