Hopefully, this is in the correct forum :scratch:
I found this yesterday. It's the complete process from start to finish of how Canon make their lenses.

It's extremely informative - enjoy.

good find. makes you take a second long when you put on a large aperture lens. Lots of big glass in there.

Hey! That's what the internet's for at work isn't it?
I suppose I should stop moaning about the price of the L IS lenses now, but they're still cheaper in the US than in the UK :angry1:. Damn you Mr Market Force whoever you are.

As an aside, I also found the link to the Camera Museum....http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/index.html
