where is this lens made?

Mine came from Japan--it took over a month; but the price was the best I found online.

Japan or China depends on where you buy them. From Panasonic store in U.S. would be made in Japan, if buy online from Japanese supplier most likely is little cheaper but it is made in China.

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.

I bought this lens. I love it. It is made by Canon. I believe the import means it comes from outside the US.

Sorry, but its made in China. Still, seems to be of sufficient quality relative to the price. You'll have to spend about three times as much if you really want high quality optics. Its just the reality of the state of modern manufacturing. And yes, there is a detectable difference in quality between low price and higher priced products. You just need to decide if you want 'good' or 'good enough'..... these were 'good enough' for what I wanted and could afford.

Mine is made in Thailand. It is written on the back of the lenses. Look at the ring where the pin contacts are. Just to make you feel better, I do not think you can ever overpay for Zeiss glass. The 55/1.8 is the best glass I've ever owned. :)

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.

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!

This is in line with the rest of the gold ring pro Nikon lenses. The barrel is metal along with the internal workings. Made in Japan. High quality and designed for a long service life. Check the Nikon web site for more details.

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 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.

If the lens is sold by Amazon.com, it will be the USA version. If it's sold on Amazon by a third party, verify with them that it is not 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.

Not sure where is manufactured, but I've bought a few Fotodiox adapters, and I'm always happy with the quality. I believe you can remove the glass element in the adapter, but that will in fact make infinity focus impossible. With the glad left in, you need to account for about a half stop of light lost, and an 1.3 multiplier factor. If you can accept those factors, I've found this to be a very capable adapter, even if it's just too have some fun with old lenses.

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. ;)

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

Hmmm not exactly sure I know the lens is made in japan. So it's not American made. But I have it and it has been good to me
