I've seen a few Rodenstock Apo-Gerogon lenses for sale over the years that prominently state 'Made in Japan' on the barrel - and I think I've seen a few other Rodenstock graphic arts lenses so emblazoned. Were they assembled in Japan to get round specific taxation/ tariffs on graphics arts industry equipment - or for other reasons? Have never seen any evidence that they're anything other than identical to the German made lenses. Any insights into this would be most welcome!
