From my research Fujinon’s lower priced binoculars are sourced out of China. Their premium line say made in Japan. This brings me to their latest binoculars, the HC Hyper 8x42 and 10 power. If I am correct these are described as being made in house, made in Japan. What does this actually mean ? So many topics here have been trying to pin down who actually produces their own lens, from the raw materials to ending in grinding/polishing and then to their final assembly. Are we to believe in today’s economy that Fujinon actually does own all of its factories in Japan which make all of the HC Hyper line of Binoculars ? ….. from the lens, to include all internal parts with its final assembly box ready for sale to the public.
