[QUOTE="maico, post: 3460975, member: 139687"] A myth. I did an audit in my house a while back for another forum. Virtually nothing was from China if you include every manufactured item from the paint on the wall to the things in the kitchen. Found a couple of light bulbs and my laptop which were made in China plus some T-shirts. Recent acquisitions: Socket set made by Stahlwille in Germany. Copper and leather mallet by Thor in the UK. Screwdrivers made by PB Swiss in Switzerland Various tools by Gedore made in Germany and Slovenia Watch made by Sinn in Germany with Swiss movement. Kettle Italian Vacuum cleaner made by Miele 100% made in Germany Angle Grinder made by Metabo in Germany. Used motorbike British. Used BMW car German Nikon pro-grade zoom lens made in Japan. Cooke Cinematography prime lens made in England Folding knife made by Zero Torrance in USA Carpet UK Garden shears Fiskers Finland Walking boots made by Lowa in Germany. Shoes made by Crockett and Jones in England Running shoes Asics Indonesia It should come as little wonder then that Germany, not China, is the biggest importer into the UK ! [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_Kingdom#cite_note-12[/url] I don't know where the Trinovid HD are made but I would guess it's assembled in Portugal from mechanical parts made in Japan. I was looking on one of the Japanese optical manufacturing websites and Leica was listed as one of their OEM clients. The glass probably comes from Corning Inc. in the States and Schott in Europe to get that traditional Leica look. The rubber doesn't look of Japanese manufacture. I would guess German. It's a curious thing, but European plastic and rubber found in things like Audi interiors always has an aesthetic the Japanese struggle to match. A while back I visited the Schneider factory in Germany and saw the lens grinding and polishing operation they have for large format optics. I don't know if they ever supply the German binocular companies. [/QUOTE]
