Hi, 1) Head and Lens cleaners I have to say that these products are only MARKETING. Avoid using them, we saw in our test labs that these products are very bad for your hardware. 2) OEM Manufacturers Here are following MD manufacturers Japan - SONY - TDK - MAXELL - XEUS (Axia) Taiwan - RITEK (Arita, Ritek, Traxdata, BestMedia, MMore) France - MPO (Hi-SPACE + others) UK - Maxell (assembly lines only) (Manuf. for OEM not confirmed) Luxemburg - TDK (Manuf. for OEM not confirmed) Austria - SONY So if you find MDs written "Made in France", you know the manufacturer ! And remember : A bit is a bit ! Hard to see real quality differences, so choose your products on YOUR FEELINGS !
