This is highly dependent on the manufacturer. I don't know much about lenses, but perhaps Nikon makes their own lenses. They don't OEM them or sell them to be branded by other names. But, in many other places this is done all the time.
This is big in home appliances. Whirlpool makes Sears appliances for example. And, there are many times where a Sears model number is the exact equivalent to a Whirlpool model. But, the Sears one will be cheaper.
This is extremely true in electronics. For example, there are only a 5 OEM manufactures of Laptops. So, you can by a Dell for example or a Sager, and they are both made by the same OEM, Compal I think. (Last I checked). But the Dell will cost alot more.
But, a UL listed charger with Voltage ratings of X really is the same whether it cost your $30 or $10.
Do you really think a 6' long HDMI "Monster" cable that cost you $120 is any better that one that you can buy on monoprice.com for $15. Well, if you do, these brand name companies love you.
More expensive doesn't
always mean more better.
