So you're intimating that there's lots of screwing going on in Pentax's

Well... no. In US or Western Europe it would be really cheaper to "hire" a

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.
