I was curious exactly how a company can justify charging thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars for a "simple lens". So, I googled it.

I came across this video and now have a lot more respect for my glass.

There was something similar made earlier in the year showing a Canon 500? being made and it was amazing just how much of all this is done by hand.
