Whether or not a device is a computer has nothing to do with the use
you put it to.

sure it does.

a modern autofocus camera lens has a microprocessor and firmware (which
can be updated in some cases), but they are not considered to be a
computer by any stretch of the imagination.

Here is the nub of it "considered". "Considered" by who? Apparently by
you.

everyone other than you considers a camera lens to be a camera lens,
not a computer.

What a silly statement.

nothing silly about it.

What on earth makes you think I think a camera lens is a computer? How
on earth can you justify such a silly statement?

because it has a cpu/memory/firmware. you said so yourself.
