Understanding Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Lens Tolerances - Webinar with Stuart Singer.

Compare the data sheets from Japanese, German, and U.S. lens manufacturers side by side. They have almost nothing in common. But the problem isn’t rooted in cross-cultural issues. Compare data sheets from three lens makers in the same country, and the result is the same. Each company uses its own format and nomenclature. Each company essentially is reinventing the wheel, but it is the buyer of the lens who faces the prospect of misinformation.
