[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1212452, member: 4191"] Replace "[I]always[/I]" with "[B][I]generally[/I][/B]" and the the statement becomes closer to reality. Always, and never, are two words that are very rarely fulfilled. Over the long haul in a companies existence (decades), more expensive glass normally provides some benefits compared to other brand/models. But there's a lot of marketing hype, expense, and name brand premiums that can enter into the pricing of optics. And there's always an up and coming brand that has the greater need to get into the market offering better value for price. Prices aren't "[I]always[/I]" based on quality. Greed, profits, and what the market will bear in the life cycle of the manufacturer are always competing factors. [/QUOTE]
