Should we care if a lens is made in Fiji as long as it offers me the 
characteristics that we buy it for and stands up to use? (rhetorical 
question.) Just being made in Germany doesn't make an instrument superior 
does it? If this were true I'd still be shooting primarily with my vintage 
Kodak Rettinette which I loved. (needs a sticky shutter fixed)
