I have learned the following about Shamir in my opinion and expirience, and would like to hear more... Preferably from Shamir or people that do tons of it...

Office is an awesome Lens
Piccolo feels soft to the wearer, albiet a short corridor
Genesis comes in 1.60 trans
We have had next to no problems with Shamir product ever
Optics are awesome

Also:
I have heard Shamir manufactures molds for themselves and other comapnies. Where is this true, and for who...

Shamir is also heavily involved in free form lens technology. To what extent?
