Fascinating video on the making of a lens. No wonder they cost so much

  Thanks John,
This is a lot of fun. I did an article about assembling your own lenses a few years ago, but I wasn’t cutting optical blanks. If you’re interested: www.siskinphoto.com/magazine1a.html
Thanks, John Siskin

  Thanks for that link, John. Here's another from Canon, that begins with the mixing of the powdered materials that are combined to form the optical glass. http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/tech/l_plant/index.html
