I don't really care about if it's good or bad screwing in Vietnam.
Cruel but true - the more they screw plant workers, the less we
(end-users) will be screwed.

So you're intimating that there's lots of screwing going on in
Pentax's Vietnam Plant? Gee, I hope it's the good kind.

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.

Attaching the metal plate is a labour-intensive step. If they can
avoid that, it's probably a good boost to the margin.
