I have a whole house full of high quality Japanese products (at least the ones that were made in Japan). I have a great regard for the state of mind of Japanese people when it comes to quality of workmanship just as I do for the Swabians that assembled my two cars. You have jumped to the wrong conclusion when you falsely accuse me of prejudice against the Japanese. If you say that Kyocera can manufacture an identical lens for half the price, so be it.
