The people who I imagine hate this the most are the Chinese brands that make really great stuff and support it well. I want to do business with people like

It is such a breath of fresh air to find actual product manuals on the web site compared to snooty Italian tripod vendors whose web sites have nothing but warnings about how they’ll never support you if you bought your product from the wrong vendor.

Yes! Agreed. I have some 7artisans lenses and have been extremely happy with them for the price.

I can't remember the name of the company offhand, but there's a big Chinese OEM that makes soft cases for guitars on behalf of many of the big international brands. They sell some first-party stuff, and it's high quality and super affordable.
