Now for the topper, which may have been a
dealer-generated story. He said, years ago when
I got the RTS, that the glass was made in
Germany and the lens assemblies were done in
Japan. All I know for sure is that the
performance of the fixed focal length lenses is superb and that works for me.
This was a dealer-generated story. All Japanese
lenses had Japanese elements, to my fairly
certain knowledge -- Kyocera is unaware of any
exceptions to that rule. All German lenses had
German elements though, from 1975 onwards, many
of these elements were made from Japanese glass, mainly from Hoya.
