A nice article (with pics ) of how Zeiss lenses are manufactured inside the Cosina factory.

Let me attempt a short translation with my limited understanding of Japanese.
"Observing the manufacturing process at Cosina where the lenses are assembled inside the clean room, it is surprising the repeated number of inspection each lens goes through at the optical bench. The individual production and time required is a trademark of Zeiss. The precision of Zeiss lens making at Cosina makes it possible to say that quality surpasses the honest birth place of Zeiss in Germany. Seeing this Cosina manufacturing process makes it foolish to say Zeiss in Japan is not as good as made in Germany........................"
I can only go so far. My vocabulary ran out.
