Have you ever thought about the origin of your cameras and lenses? Nikon has changed its manufacturing process a lot over the years. Although they continue to make some of their equipment in Japan, most are now made in Thailand and China. Today’s situation is here!
By the way, I am excited to explain that Libor has already found its hands on a copy of the new Nikon Z5 II (painted above) and confirmed that it has been built in Thailand. So, the list below should be completely operational by April 2025:
