[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 784365, member: 50197"] OK, I've been looking and (over)thinking on this. I notice that some of these 105 lenses are made in Japan and some are made in China. I assume that the newer ones are Chinese. Should I be looking for a used lens that is made in Japan instead of a likely newer lens (either new, or refurb), that was more likely to have been made in China? Or is there really no difference? One of the used lenses I looked at had a set of photos of that individual lens, and I could clearly see the "made in Japan" on the lens. Another was clearly marked "made in China". I didn't realize that my Z5 and 28-70 f4 lens were made in Thailand when I bought them a few months ago. Not that it would have stopped me from buying them. I do realize that a good company can maintain good manufacturing in factories regardless of location, if they choose to enforce the proper QC measures. [/QUOTE]
