Just listing factors generally contributing to the costs of making a product does not provide insights into the calculations of MILC makers like Pana and Oly. Nor does it represent a "fuller" understanding of these calculations. I tried to find some information on how profitable their MILC business actually is, but couldn´t find precise data. In the end, whether it´s due to greed or due to high prodution costs or both, their latest offerings don´t impress in terms of value for money.
