Thank you "robert_in_ca," for the correction,
I should have been more precise when I commented, since I am aware of it, yes, Z8*, Z9, just like many Z lenses that are made in Thailand, to my old timer's approach it make no difference to me, China, or Thailand, or wherever, if Leica is not made in Germany, Nikon in Japan, and now X100 also outsourced, it is not what used to be, again I am not questioning build quality, of course with OEM hawkish quality control. it is just not "my world," anymore…
And yes I am sort of pissed, someone mention Cosina, for me that “is” different story, Cosina is “Made in Japan,” I had several Cosina made lenses, including phenomenal ZEISS 135 f/2 ZF2, and few Cosina’s build Voigtlander lenses as well, it is not just build quality, it is history of the brand, its name, how long has been around, tradition, I am sure many FM members here who like me have been in this photography “thingy,” either professionally, or I just as pathetic amateur for half of a Century, where is made means something or a lot, and no offense, for those who perhaps started making pictures with Android, or iPhones and stepped in this world in last decade or so, for them understandably means lot less if anything….
My apology for continuing on, not starting any War, just expressing my piss-off view and lastly if Limited Edition of X100VI is made in Japan I would gladly snatch one given a chance to get it, since it would be limited to just 1934 Cameras, though I am not sure is that allocation per each Market, or Worldwide.
