Is this lens made in China or Japan?

Well, I'm sorry, "Jose Fernandes" but the number of times you answered doesn't make your answer true. It's made in China. "LEO international Trading" also gave the wrong answer, but only once.

I just received this camera and it says "Made in Taiwan"....which as every knows is part of China.

It is genuine lens, made in Japan and imported. I don't buy expensive things from grey market.

I have no idea. The whole camera was made in Japan, and there is no indication that the lens was made in another place. I suggest you call and ask. Their number in the US: 800-211-7262.

Scope and Zoom eyepiece are made in Japan. The optics are of high quality and what I have come to expect from Pentax. I use it as a grab and go astronomical spotting scope, which is a most demanding use.

how could you recognize that your canon camera is made in Japan and not in somewhere else?

Nikon makes cameras in Japan, China or Thailand. Depends on the inventory and vendor.

Yes, the label on my camera says made in Japan. Lenses are usually a different story. Most newer Pentax lenses are designed in Japan but made in Vietnam. The lenses that are made in Vietnam aren't bad ... but there is a group of photographers online who believe the best Pentax lenses are the older ones made in Japan. The truth is that newer optical formulas and lens coatings are more important than the country where the lens is assembled. My "Japanese" Toyota is assembled in the USA but most people still identify it as a "Japanese" car. ;)

Yes Michael it is manufactured in Japan. It is not intended for use on a DX camera, this is a FX lens only.

Not exactly sure....probably china, if assume. But I will say, it's been on my Panasonic 20mm lens since I got it, and has protected it VERY well!

I went to pick mine up after satisfying myself that they were indeed made in Japan. My experience with my old Canon A-20 Powershot convinced me there's a difference. I'd just purchased it (2002 ?) and the next week they introduced the A-40 which offered video as well. Since I was still inside my 30 day return window I picked up the A-40 and compared the two in detail for a couple of weeks. The A-20 was made in Japan and the A-40 was made in Malaysia, or Singapore, or Myanmar. I can't remember exactly. Big difference! Fit and finish was superb on the Japanese version. Poor on the other. In one of the zoom steps I came to see an out-of-focus area where the Japanese version was consistently sharp. I returned the A-40 and kept the A-20. Still works great. Now the 780. I went to Best-Buy to pick it up and at the last second I decided I'd better verify that it was Japanese too. Nope, it was Chinese. I explained my concerns to the checker and requested to examine their inventory for the Japanese version I wanted. Fortunately, I was in luck. There was only one amongst several Chinese examples. I snapped it up and it's been just wonderful. To be completely fair and honest I must confess that my earlier experience with the A-20 may not have any validity today. I didn't do an in-depth comparison between the Chinese/Japanese versions. For all I Know the Chinese version is the superior of the two. I was simply relying on my limited, singular experience. The reviews here at Amazon are pretty accurate. My only issue is the audible noise in video mode. If it's a quiet setting you WILL hear it. Not a problem for me. I use it mostly for dirtbiking, snowmobiling, and boating.

As far as I can tell, it is a North America lens with full warranty. Mine was marketed as an open box and included all the paper work.

it is due in part to the exchange rate with the Japanese yen. These lenses are made in Japan.

Mine said it's made in Japan on the lens. I bought mine when this fist came out though

Made in China. This is a kit lens. Its far superior to the 2 kit lens that I got with my EPL2, both are now gathering dust in the closet somewhere. Best feature visible, it zooms without changing its size.

You are absolutely right on that Scott. The 35 1.8 is also a Chinese made lens. Same here ... that 35 1.8 was the first lens on my D90 (which is made in Thailand) and is still my go-to prime lens. I feel like this 85 mm is definitely more a portrait lens given the effective focal length on the D90. It performs superbly tho. I think the only two Japanese lenses i own are Toknia's. I don't understand why its important where a lens is made tho? Is it about the QC??

This Canon EOS-1DX was made in Japan for U.S. market. I hope it helps. I have no problem with it so far.
