I write about photography and cameras.
I don't write much about cameras actually.
In the industry of photography, Fuji makes the Hasselblad zoom lens, and Panasonic makes the Leica's small cameras.
Cosina for example manufactures Zeiss lenses in Japan.
So, now Tamron is in the game too.
Tamron seems to be making Carl Zeiss as well.

You be like, why is this an issue?
Because there are lenses like the Tamron SP35mm F1.8 VC which kinda is better than Canon's 35mm f2.
Put price in the leverage and you'll get something other than the big Canon.
And there's another Tamron SP24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD, that goes beyond the $USD of Canon's 24-70.
It makes you compare prices of new-old, used and bruised.
