Canon Lens Production 3

[rohitsanu1]

if i like this video and share it with 1000+ people, will you send me one of these lens pleaseeeeeeeeee?

[vandigital1]

Thank you Canon and all your technicians for adding value to my life.

[thure1982]

@4:27 isn't that a 70-200?

[chungdha]

There is only one though in the workers mind: Do not sneeze, otherwise the lens is fucked! , I though they would have mask on to block spit to become stain inside the camera.

[musedmoments]

honestly, i doubt the technician to do the work for thousands dollar worth of lens..

[Beanieboy182]

now i understand why their expensive lol

[ak3hiker]

All that and then I go and knock it off the kitchen table....

[lhlee888]

Finger condoms.

[neurogence]

Wow

[majestixblue]

i wonder why when they assembly on the 2nd part(back) they don't use glove or finger protection like on the first part..

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

AMAZING!



[AmazonGuideProduct]

May I get one...:))

[CalvinSeak]

she must be really strong to carry that monster!!

[paulosemifusa]

Canon The Best!!!^^

[catalinaumbert]

LEICA makes the same lens with half the number of lens and half the weight and double the luminosity!! Go figure!

[sokklei]

@catalinaumbert What is the name of the lens? I can't find it

[Hamzah41081]

But is it worth thousends of dollars?

[gbhatthal]

Wow!!! that's all I can say



[inkmethod]

only 7000$!!!!

[prashetio]

mantaaaapppp

[redandbluebeater]

But will it blend?

[Regards200800]

I wish I had fingers like that ;D

[WutwutKansas]

All of this and all my canon shit still backfocuses... hmmmm

[guytoob]

@WutwutKansas shhh it's a conspiracy... they don't want your super photographic talents to come out

[MyHealthYoga]

How to assemble a light saber.

[locouk]

I wish I could justify buying myself one...

[aassggkk]

She's not wearing a hair net! How dare she jeopardize getting hair in that lens!

[couscousdelight]

@aassggkk

A was thinking about it too during the film.

[kalmius7]

Wait until religious fanatics come... you will have this and may be much more...

[RyanTheTuber]

Those women have really nice... hands...

And I'm not surprised their in charge of the delicate process of putting everything together haha.

[96169QQ]

MADE IN JAPAN.

[spicy110]

ACHOO!!!!! Oh shit!

[icecubemovies]

These things are pricy for a reason...

[iLikeButter35]

At 4:00 you can see the aperture stops. :D

[kyledrummer]

"As the lenses are directly incorporated deep into the front barrel, a high degree of technical skill is required." "Before each technician can assemble one of these lenses, they must give a urine sample to prove absence of caffiene within 24 hours prior to beginning work, lest their shaking hands drop any parts."

[greedydijkstra]

Thanks, i now happy what i paid for my lens :D

[Jeppovyse]

i bet his eye glass is an L lens. lol

[jesoby]

now show us a kit lens being thrown together!

[oldproji]

Well, that shows you how inexpensive these lenses really are. No more quibbling from me in future. And I love my humble 24-105 by the way.

[GodHammer]

Thanks for sharing, now I love my Canon gear even more :)

[17GAZZANIKON]

wouldnt it be cool if there was a little signiture on the lens, by the person that made it, kind of like when they used to build cars, would make the lens unique and feel more special :D

[mdfarizal]

no wonder China can't make this lens...

[LurkerPatrol5]

This is why it costs $6500

[DongerZ1]

finger condoms

[cookiepwnsU]

finger condoms!

[legeek08]

@cookiepwnsU You watched DigitalRev didn't you ? =D

[cookiepwnsU]

@legeek08 yup.

[LiHoLiHo]

@cookiepwnsU

Digital Rev Quote! :D

[zoklo10]

impressive

[ucheucheuche]

And they didn't even show how the electronics were made, or the housing!

Enter Amateurish Reviewer, stage left: shoots cr*p, shrugs shoulders, rates 'meh'.

:0

[ktxed]

@ucheucheuche This one was about lenses, bro.

[y2kroll]

trained monkeys can assembly one of those 50% faster

[veyronman]

@y2kroll and they'll be half as accurate

[bobsta]

Damn - I now understand why they charge so much for these lenses!

[chonyc77]

You have to be Japanese in order to be able to do this..

[plasmatron6]

beautiful!

[Olengher]

Wow, great, it's nice to know what effort they put in.I watched a documentary about LCDs, making cookies requires more skill.With most electronics you get robbed, this is why price doesen't drop on lenses.

[HapticX]

no wonder i cant fix mine, i dont have $50,000 for all those special assembly fixtures!

[SeikoPsycho]

I ejaculated watching these lens production videos :-S

[quickshooter100]

nikons are built to maybe a higher standard! both work just as well:O)

[unidigistudios]

Maaan they are really hand made :o no wonder why they are worth a crap load...But if I have the chance, I would NEVER EVER hesitate to buy one.

[catalin205]

omg no wonder they cost an arm and a leg :P

[krnetip]

@catalin205 you forgot a kidney :P

[gavraj947]

@catalin205 i think a arm and leg is cheaper..........LOL

[xSaVagExReFleXx]

@catalin205 they sure are worth it though

[throxnet]

@catalin205 Rich man don't feel that way.

[detibry]

how to assemble a laser cannon.

[pedrojorgeclaro]

AT 3:25 the worker puts the lens with his hands, without any king of rubber protection for fingers as some workers seen before on the moovie....qhat a nice "High quality lens"

[elcko123]

@pedrojorgeclaro that was a locking ring...

[Petsku333]

@pedrojorgeclaro Dude get glasses it was a ring to lock the lens in. And go play with your Nikkor or Sigma shit..

[sando1975]

@pedrojorgeclaro

This is not a lens the worker puts at 3:25 but a rubber safety ring which helps connect a lens with the next one. I own the 500mm f/4 and can surely "testify" that it is an optic masterpiece! Regards from Greece.

[chikenin3507]

大変な作業工程だ。

[CorallusKeeper]

If these lenses were made in the United States. You would be paying alot more then $6K for them.

[bred2k6]

Employees in the Japanese manufcaturing sector are typically paid more than US employees in that sector. So based on wages alone a $6k lens made in Japan would be $4.161k if made in the US. Of course wages are not the only factor, there are raw materials, etc. However, it is probably fair to say that if Canon made its lenses in the USA that they could be produced for less cost. I hear that Canon have been looking at outsourcing recently so maybe lower prices could be on the cards.

[N6600]

mmm... delicious... (referring to the chocolate dip in the factory worker's fingers...)

[wodnik30]

ja poproszę jeden taki

[silyavski]

if Samyang sells wonderfull 85mm f1.4 for 200euro and is better optically than the expensive Canons and on pair with the Nikons same range which is 8 times more expensive, i dont see why it can not be made for under 500eur. you guys what? are you defending the bastards that want to make 5000 a month? the Chinese and Koreans would punish them soon, just give them a little more time, hopefully sooner

[au1947]

nice video

[z28ken]

Beyond the overly simplistic view of just "materials and labor", keep in mind there's a huge amount of R&D costs that also need to be factored into any product cost. If anyone seriously believes it's that easy . . . I say go build me one and I'll buy at your cheaper price!

[cvedeler]

The glass that goes into a lens like that is VERY expensive. Much of it is rejected well before it gets to be polished. The remaining machining and mounting isn't cheap either. Then the quality control must be perfect. This all takes considerable skill and top of the line materials. There is NO WAY a lens like this could be manufactured for $200 in materials or labor. Then you need to pay for R&D and make a profit to boot since they only make a few hundred of these a year.

[drewvuong]

Gasitman, you have no idea what you're talking about. The milling machines, lens grinders, technicians to grind the lens, metallurgist, opticians, not to mention CAD designers and all the technicians to go with each respective team (most of which require at least a 4 year college degree) are just some of the components you don't see on this video. $200 won't even get you the air filters used in the HVAC systems in the production facility.

[ravemissioneight]

looks like gasitman got pwned. i wanna see the production of the 1200mm f/5.6L though

[shadowblack1987]

You forgot at least a zero.

[chrisw40]

now thats the lens you want to get that 250,000 dollar shot

[x3band]

and the price... amazing price also.. $5500

[meatwad4900]

But those who would normally actually buy those lenses would make more money than what they payed from the pictures they take o:

[markedwardsbahons]

Just an amazing series of videos. (1-3) amazing lens construction and skill by craftsmen & woman.
