Snob? All I said was that Japan and China are almost no difference and then the Kowa brand came up and others start to compare Kowa with the German brands.

And yes, I do own some very nice glass but I do also have a Bushnell on one backup rifle and a Vortex rimfire scope on one rimfire but that is not the point.

The point is that you can't compare apples with oranges and if you want a high-end hunting optics, Germans do have the upper hand for most applications.

The mid level stuff, almost anybody can assemble a decent product from a glass they probably sourced somewhere in Europe and therefore, there is almost no difference between the China and Japan. (maybe the QC is better in Japan but that's all)
