Are the newer ones made in China?

I no longer recall where it is "made". I DO recall that the SWD ones is a razor sharp, fast, quick focussing, good handling lens. Country of manufacture is not directly related to quality, if the factories are run by foreign nationals which they usually are. The pricier items sometimes bear "made in Japan" labels, but that is as much marketing than a real indication of country-derived quality. As far back as the eighties when I sold video recorders, a quick lid removal of a top-line one that was "made in Japan", revealed that VERY few of the internal components were actually made in Japan. If you are after a superb lens in that FL range, you will NOT be disappointed as long as it is a SWD model. It focusses properly on the EM-1 as well, so if it suits you, dive in you will NOT regret it..

I think this question should be more properly addressed to the seller because my purchase occurred long ago. I THINK (not know) that these are made in China

The ones I received were made in China, not the USA where the ones I buy in the "local store" are from... SO NO!

Sorry it was too long ago and I threw the package away. I will say that to this point they have worked well. If I had to guess I would guess they were made in China.

They are made in China. They are very good quality and have held up very well over the past 8 years plus I have been using them. I have purchased a couple of dozen of them and have yet to have one fail.

If I remember correctly they were made in China, but I threw away the packaging so I cannot double check.

They are made in China, however, if you go to their website, it shows that this product is tested extensively by the manufacturer, and the report is available for download. I did it, and the product is safe, in my eyes

No, I believe they are more than likely "Made in China". But the one I installed had been holding up well.

I think they are made in China. But they are manufactured according to the specifications of the US company. This is not much different than with most electronics today.

No, according to the labeling on the container they're made in China. That figures, unfortunately.

Yep, but they are made in China. I have had them on a while and they seem okay though.

Yes they are manufactured in the USA. It is stated on the home page of their web site.

I know they are NOT made in China. I believe they are made in Brazil. I will double check tonight after work.

They were supposed to be, that's why I bought them. It says made in china on the back of ever piece. It's been a good set so far but IT IS NOT MADE IN GERMANY. Also, if it was it would be a lot more expensive. I should of known simply based on the price.

I really have no idea, I don't recall seeing Made In China on the packaging, but that's pretty much where everything is made these days.
