Photo of women at work at the old Rollei camera/lens factory in singapore in the 1980s which also made their voigtlander lenses and cameras.

It was where Chai Chee technopark is today.

KEWL!

An old friend of mine (one who 'influenced' me) used to work in the lens making dept there.

Those were the days where Bridestone tyres, Mercedes, Ford and of course Rollei/Rolleiflex were assembled in Singapore. Any body can recall the reasons all of them pulled out? Is it labour cost?
