is this lens made in Japan or China?

It is a great lens, but there are no markings to indicate country of origin. Since Olympus has 30 manufacturing locations world wide, I don't know how to determine this.

Mine said it's made in Japan on the lens. I bought mine when this fist came out though

Hmmm not exactly sure I know the lens is made in japan. So it's not American made. But I have it and it has been good to me

China, not Japan. Hitachi corporate is in Japan. Read the label carefully. My 15 year old version was made in Singapore.

I don't know where it is made. It has a canon FD mount on one side and an EF mount on the other. There is a difference in focal length because of this attachment. I don't know how much it changes the focal length, but it should some.

I don't have them in front of me, but I think they are made in Japan. They are a great pair of bino's for the price.

I believe it is made in Japan, at least that is what I got from Google. But I will tell you that for the money, the scope is really nice.

Yes Michael it is manufactured in Japan. It is not intended for use on a DX camera, this is a FX lens only.

As far as I can tell it's manufactured in Thailand. Optically it's one of the best lenses I have, (I collect lenses including an extensive range of Leica glass). I'm not sure why you're asking but rest assured as far as quality is concerned you won't be left wanting.

The lens (at least mine) is made in Japan, and the barrel movement is as smooth as silk. Nice and crisp, an excellent lens.

Hello,The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 R Lens is made in China under the Olympus Imaging Group. Its a great buy for the its price. It takes great pictures and I have no complains.

You are absolutely right on that Scott. The 35 1.8 is also a Chinese made lens. Same here ... that 35 1.8 was the first lens on my D90 (which is made in Thailand) and is still my go-to prime lens. I feel like this 85 mm is definitely more a portrait lens given the effective focal length on the D90. It performs superbly tho. I think the only two Japanese lenses i own are Toknia's. I don't understand why its important where a lens is made tho? Is it about the QC??

I do not know what it means. The lens is manufactured in Thailand. The Sony I have, A7s was manufactured in Thailand too. The new lens I got , a 24-240 was made in China. The 24-70 Vario Tessar is better in quality than the new lens I got but I prefer to have a wider zoom lens, for me it is not practical to be changing lenses. Nowadays most manufacturers are transferring manufacture to other countries to lower costas, most of Apple products are made in China. The only thing I can think about a Japanese version, is that it is the one sold in Japan.

That I could not tell you. I still have my box for the lens and it has english and Japanese writing on it. The lens is a wonderful made and performing lens.

I do not know ? I think it is Japan. They have manufacturing there. There is a New York office, BUT, they do not make lenses there, just the USA office.
