Well... no. In US or Western Europe it would be really cheaper to "hire"
a robot. In rest of the world, low-paid human with screwdriver is MUCH
cheaper than screwdriving machinery. I've worked for years in mobile
phone assembly plant (it's LOTS of screwing) and seen many production
cost calculations. Don't forget, that Pentax lenses are made (not even
in Eastern Europe but) in Vietnam.
