I killed time and learnt something! Go Spiked!

But in all seriousness, what a boring job... Don't they have computers do it for them?

this seems like a really old video of the process.... i mean HAND ENGRAVED LETTERING ? And also, my SLR lenses don't look that old fashioned. And what about the auto adjusting lenses ? THis video looks like its from the 80's and I bet all those nice old workers in this video have died atleast a decade ago.

I agree with the description. These lens are like $500-$2000 depending on how big the lens are. I always thought they were ripping off people...

@Pinsel
I thought the music was fine. Also, it's a good idea to misspell "you're" and "obvious," otherwise people might take you seriously.

But yes, the video seemed quite old; I'm fairly sure a majority of that is automated by now, along with the cleaning processes taking place in sealed, sanitary chambers, much in the way microchips are created. 5/5 regardless.

If this interests you, Canon also has a detailed explanation of how their lens process works. I actually found Canon's more interesting.

I'll see about capturing the video and uploading it.

Cool video. I'm going to be extra careful when handling my camera now that I know how much goes into making the lenses.

I have the suspicion that this fabrication method still goes for the expensive lenses for professional equipment... but I think the lenses you find in consumer electronics like cheap to medium range cameras are pretty much massproduced in factories. That is only my personal expectation, though.
