The home of the L-series: Inside Canon's Utsunomiya lens factory
Recently, following the CP+ 2017 show in Yokohama, we were granted the enormous honor of a guided tour through Canon's Utsunomiya lens factory. Canon has been making lenses in Utsunomiya since 1977, and we were the first journalists ever to be allowed to see the L-series assembly line.

| Utsunomiya (indicated with the dropped pin) is the capital and largest city of Tochigi Prefecture, in the northern Kantō region of Japan - about 80 miles north of Tokyo. |
On February 27th, we made our way from Yokohama to Utsunomiya in the company of several representatives from Canon Inc., and our friends Dave Etchells and William Brawley from Imaging Resource. Click through this slideshow to see what we found.
