Just came across this stainless insulated drinking bottle. The Alfi IsoBottle made in Germany. https://alfi.com.my/product/isobottle/ Name didn't ring a bell until I saw their isolated coffee cans. Many hotels and restaurants use them because they are of good quality. Since I didn't find a "ch...

I'm a bit jealous of you guys in Europe...it seems that you have so many more options than we do in the US. It's pathetic how quickly so many US brands are willing to sell themselves out for money. Well thank you but in general I'm looking for the needle in the haystack because Germany belongs to t...

Maybe RC model planes could be an alternative. Anyone who has some experience in building a model plane should be able to install an action cam on it. Well, you don't get a live view but compared to the price of a drone, the RC model plane is a steal! And if you think they go to fast, build a minia...

Thank you for the information, so we know Alpa is still worth it's money. Rodenstock lenses btw are a legend in large format photography and they also produced quality equipment for darkrooms , while most people know them for their eyeglasses. Taking "CH" for China is man easy mistake to m...

Update: I made some research about the Meyer Optik Görlitz brand since testers say they even made legendary lenses better (brighter and/or sharper) and because they also produce the Biotar (formerly of Carl Zeiss Jena, who were forced to merge with Meyer and Pentacon in GDR). Their actual owner is O...

Now that's so stupid! Years ago, some once-flourishing German toolmakers got bankrupt after they turned themselves into a
laughing stock by switching from professional quality to Chinese cheapo-stuff. Kärcher surely didn't learn from this.

At least I think so, because I noticed there are candles without a "Made in..." on the package. Living in Germany, I am used see a "Made in Germany" when buying candles. I wouldn't mind for "Made in EU", but if there's no country of origin, I fear it's Chinese.
