1. That's a terrible pun in the article title that some Americans might miss
2. And here I had hoped this article might go into the details of the HORRENDOUS patent lockdown between Zeiss, Rodenstock, Hoya, Essilor, Shaw Lens, and numerous other vendors, who OF COURSE all refuse to license to each other which essentially forces consumers to use lenses built with a hodgepodge between completely outdated technology and cutting edge technology. Imagine running your modern GPU with an 486 as a CPU - or vice versa.
