I tried greentoe samyang rokinon recently, not this lens though, and i didn't get better price than samyang website. I got one openbox from ebay pro seller who has multiple.

South Korea is supposed to get hit with 25% but who knows what'll happen
Tamron 35-150mm is also not miles better, it has better corner sharpness on 35mm, hardly easier upgrading(you need special usbc cable), and better warranty. Due to unavoidable decentering in zoom lenses, luck decides overall sharpness of your copy. And per user ratings, tamron users have better chances for a satisfactory one. Are they worth $400-500? I think not, especially for amateurs.
- Nikon 24-120mm(Thailand)
- Tamron 28-200mm III (China or Japan, probably China)
- Sony 24-70mm GM II (Thailand)
- Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 (China or Japan, probably China)
- Fujifilm 16-50mm (China or Thailand)
- Nikon Z 28-400mm (China)
- Canon 100-400mm IS USM (Taiwan)
- Nikon Z 180-600mm (China)
- Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM (Malaysia)
- Sony 70-200mm GM II (Japan)
Your apple relocation argument is very laughable. American market for cellphone is not super huge in the world. Apple can allocate its small share of non-China fabs for USA.Your fuji claim is baseless.

"quality of made in China or Japan is the same"
"Fujifilm has biggest capacty in China"

Nope.

- Tamron 28-200 RXD III is made in Vietnam (source: I have this lens) + it's been confirmed they moved the main production of this to Vietnam
- Tamron 28-75 G2 is made in Japan (I also have this lens). Pretty sure it says made in Japan on my lens.
- Fujifilm 16-50mm is made in Japan. I also have this lens on my X-M5.
Also the article you linked is for the X100VI which doesn't even have a detachable lens so idk why you even linked this article. It's totally irrelevant and you're taking those comments out of context.You are right about those Nikon lenses though. I know they produce a lot in China.
So lets see here.. 2/10 lenses in made in China.. and they are in the bottom half of the list. So tell me again, where are lenses mostly produced?
Also who is the largest lens producer in the world and where do they make the lenses? Pretty sure it's not China.

Says their copy is made in China. The interview is on the occasion of that camera release, but question is about fuji as a whole. In recent Northrops reaction to trade war, they put China and Japan behind fuji, too.

Also their official reply, no 16-50mm.
I have never seen any in any store/picture in my entire life. All the lenses I've bought from Tamron were made in Japan or Vietnam. All the sony lenses I've bought are made in Thailand or Japan. You keep pulling information out of your ass because you think China makes everything, but they don't.
This 3000 worker fab makes lens caps right?
To compare, samyang hires less than 200 from company registration, 150 according to wiki.
