OEH:

LMAO at the names these optics companies are scrounging up. Some are straight up Orwellian Doublespeak. Must've tested well with the focus groups.

FWIW, I'd suspect that most here understand globalism to some extent. If not, most understand that the concept of "getting more for your money" usually means the inclusion of cheap labor somewhere along the line.

If someone likes their "German" optics straight outta Shanghai, more power to them. Use what you want. But you can't take some of the names these companies select too serious. You just can't.
