70 Years or more ago Zeiss and the Germans made good lenses - perhaps the best - as there were no others making lenses then!!?? The Russians and the Japanese stepped in to slowly match Zeiss and later exceed them. They were followed by the Koreans who made equally good optics. And now the Chinese are repeating History once again.
Even countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, etc make - err rather assemble - great Lenses & Photo Gear. Well the truth is this statement has been made popular by one of our own PDMLers:- "Buy a Leica, get the full Leica Experience? - a quick reduction of funds in the bank a/c". Where LEICA = ZEISS now (ie please replace Leica with Zeiss in the statement above). There you are, go ahead and buy a Zeiss Len for $$$$$ when you can buy similar or better ones for much less er friends. Regards.
