In other worlds like in this case coming out with a lens costing thousands not hundreds... As in four of them. 4000. With primo glass choices and R&D and product controll. Call it a PR thing sure you sell a lot less units. But it makes you look good and when you do sell one its a big deal! I think car companies have long done that. Had one premium car in their lineup.
