Interesting, about 1/2 my lenses are M and I don't have a single Taiwan
product. Even my FA 28-200 and "Dead" 28-70mm were assembled in Japan.

I've been searching all over the web and through the pdml archives for
some description of the Taiwan lens phenomenon, or at least where it
concerns the SMC Pentax-M and SMC Pentax-A lenses. Can't find a
thing. Can anyone fill me in? Or point me to a website that
describes what this was all about? Obviously the Made inTaiwan lenses
are less preferable to the Japanese ones, I'm thinking. Was there any
rhyme or reason to the existence of some lenses in both Japanese and
Taiwanese examples? Every Pentax-M I seem to find is made in Taiwan,
but as I understand it they ALL weren't.
Sorry for troubling you all with this silly little request, but it's
been puzzling me for awhile now. I'll go back to lurking now...
