Although Zeiss is a German brand, it does not mean that Zeiss products are made in Germany. For example, Zeiss's C/Y bayonet lens and G bayonet lens are all made in Kyocera, Japan. Zeiss ZM, ZF, ZK and ZE bayonet lenses are all made in Japan, and Zeiss ZA Sony bayonet lenses are Sony's own Zeiss LOGO, including mobile phone lenses.
General photographers affectionately call this Zeiss lens "pseudo-Cai", that is, only the design patent and coating material are provided by Zeiss, and other glass, lens metal materials, processing, assembly and debugging are all Zeiss lenses made in Japan. As for Zeiss glasses, they are German, Japanese and China. Generally, Zeiss lenses bought in China are all made in China.
Brand background
The history of Carl Zeiss Co., Ltd. began in Jena, when it was the largest camera product base in the world. Zeiss Yikang is an important symbol among many brands and manufacturers. After the war, Zeiss moved to Upper Kohen (located in southwest Germany). Since the 1990s, some new technical branches, such as industrial automation products, have emerged in the companies of Zeiss Group in Dresden and its surrounding areas.
Zeiss lens is far superior to other lenses in transparency, hardness, wear resistance and edge imaging effect. These factors not only determine the durability of the lens, but also provide users with almost perfect comfort. Friends who are used to wearing Zeiss lenses will not choose other lenses.
