<p>I had an interesting conversation obliquely related to this very issue at a Rona store, where they carry some Made-in-China brands. </p>

<p>Apparently there are two ways of doing business in China (and other Asian countries, I'm quit sure): in one model, you buy product there made on local equipment to your specs, and then label it with your logo. The other model is to bring your entire factory there: same numerically-driven machines, training and quality control checks you would deploy in Europe or North America.</p>

<p>According to the tools buyer at Rona, there is a significant quality difference in the two approaches. There is no doubt in my mind which model Nikon has pursued.</p>

<p>Mine is made in China and I have had no issues quality ones. I try to stay away from the philosophical issues. Are these lenses made elsewhere? Mine is very heavy. Perhaps if it was made in Japan it would be lighter?</p>
