[QUOTE="miknoypinoy, post: 58122, member: 9069"] as you know the higher end lenses are a larger diameter. they might need to order more sheets of glass per lens on these. (imperfections in stock might cause nikon to not use the whole sheet). also higher end lenses sometimes use double the elements in the lens to make them faster and sharper. with that many elements now you need more mechanical /electronic elements in the lens. double the man hours for more element cutting, cleaning, polishing, aligning, assembly. then of course corporate payroll (someone had to design and test lol). overhead costs and profit mark up. (gotta make money lol). I think that sums it up. it's amazing the whole process it takes. good thread you started. makes us appreciate it a bit more (I'm still gonna complain about the costs though. lol) I'm not afraid . . . YOU WILL BE. . . YOU WILL BE. . . [/QUOTE]
