After having been condescended to on multiple occasions by haughty-taughty Leica reps with Nazi accents, I'm MORE than happy to buy Chinese gear bearing the "Leica" label, and buy SWMBO a few baubles with the savings. It's a global economy, brothers!

Now that's what I'm talking about. I want quality products but have no interest in spending more if I don't have to......a fool and his money are easily departed.

The protagonist played by Chris Farley, was representing a automotive parts manufacturer (his dad) against a larger corporation, owned by Dan Akroyd. The thing that Akroyd kept saying he had over his smaller competition was a great warranty. Farley was making the argument that the warranty was only words on the box and not nearly as important as the quality of the component itself. To your thesis, the foreign made accessories may be made to great quality even if they don't have the less consequential text on the box.
