Mine says "Made in Japan" right below the Nikon logo on the lens barrel closest to the camera. Were it not made in Japan I would not have bought it. There is too much money involved to get one made ion a production factory in the near East or other outsourced locations. As I said in my review, on my D800, this lens produces spectacular results. Sharp edge to edge, corner to corner, with no need for any distortion corrections.

Mine says "Made in Japan" and made sense considered that we are talking about a premium product.

It was USA but I don't remember the warranty details as I returned the lens.

Assembled in Thailand. Very little is actually made in Japan anymore...kind of like the USA. Doesn't mean inferior quality, though! Designs, manufacturing process, quality control are Nikon Japan, which has way too long a history of top product quality to risk it at all. Quality of my D5300 is fantastic!

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

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.

I do not know ? I think it is Japan. They have manufacturing there. There is a New York office, BUT, they do not make lenses there, just the USA office.

It is a great lens, but there are no markings to indicate country of origin. Since Olympus has 30 manufacturing locations world wide, I don't know how to determine this.

Mine was made in indonesia according to the plate located on the bottom of the camera-as far as the warranty, cant help there since I bot the camera a while ago. Hope this helps

YES, it is made in China. That said, I have no qualms with it, and am very satisfied: I previously owned both the Tamron and the Pentax 18-250. The difference was very small between the two 18-250, and yes, the new 18-270 is an improvement! I am very satisfied, and it is my all-rounder.

As far as I can tell it's manufactured in Thailand. Optically it's one of the best lenses I have, (I collect lenses including an extensive range of Leica glass). I'm not sure why you're asking but rest assured as far as quality is concerned you won't be left wanting.

That is correct. This lens is made by Tamron in China rather than the Pentax lens factory in Viet Nam. It has essentially the same layout and optics as the Tamron 18-270mm for Canon and Nikon minus the internal image stabilization.

It says on box "made in Thailand". This is my second Zeiss. I still own the SEL24F18, both are built to extremely high standard, no flex at all. The only sub par component of the older Zeiss was the petal hood that fell apart in less than a year, I had to superglue it back together. The older lens has seen hell and still going strong after 3 years of heavy use. I tell you all this cos I was worried too, but when you see the images you get from the lens, wow! Also, unlike the other E mount Zeiss, I have not read about a single bad copy of the lens. Hope this helps

The date of manufacture of a lens is not known. The lens is not attached to the box.

It's my husband's camera; on the bottom plate it says that it's made in Indonesia. Not sure if that's all parts, etc. This "tough" camera replaced an earlier model he had for several years. He uses it for rugged hiking and fishing and is very happy with it.

Typically, the pro lenses come from Japan. Consumer lenses, like this one, come from Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and China (and maybe elsewhere). Those coming from China are the ones to avoid, based upon Nikon user feedback that I have come across. This appears to be true for other Nikon lenses coming from China, as well. Not just this one.
