These videos are long, but super super interesting for anyone who cares anything about lenses. Most of the time I feel like everything camera related is overpriced, but after you understand the work behind creating some great lenses, you'll feel very differently (well at least for Canon Lenses). This is a three part series that covers the making of a Canon L series 500mm F/4. Take the time to watch when you can.

Linked here from the Leica glass-making article. Amazing! I pretty much thought 90% of the process have been automated by robotics. Highly-complicated process.
Thanks for sharing!
