Tamron released its FY2023 financial results and the company continues to do quite well even under current economic conditions. I hope we get some nice glass from Tamron in 2024, because they currently make some of the best glass on E-mount at a great price point.
- Sales of our own brand interchangeable lenses increased even excluding favorable foreign exchange effects, driven by the launch of new mirrorless models and strong sales in Japan and Chania.
- Although OEM sales decreased in 1st half compared to the strong sales in the previous year, full-year sales remained strong due to strong sales in 2nd half with positive impact of exchange rates.
