Chinese Lenses

It is common for countries to hold back the best for internal
consumption.

Japan does it all the time.

The APOs available to the man on the street in China today are much
better than what is available to the United States where we have been
trained to follow the Walmart model of consumer purchasing.

If you are touring China, check out what the Universities have for
telescopes....top quality and made in China.

In Australia we do it with our wine, prawns, crayfish, actors.
And so on.

A fellow on the Sci.Astro.Amateur newsgroup (yes, I know....) has just
claimed that Tak outsources some of its lenses to China. If true, I don't
suppose it really matters, as long as the quality is the same.

Any comments, Art?


This is disinformation. Takahashi lens sets are made by two
subsidiaries of Canon: Optron and Ohara.
