1. Old version.

2. New compact version.

3. A nice piece of glass. It's not very big, it feels rugged, and I
think the lens is quite sharp. I've made great hand-held shots
wide-open, which look tack sharp on Delta100 and 8x10 prints and
show a very pleasing ``bokeh'' (bokeh is how the out-of-focus stuff
looks like, in short). As usual, it is dead cheap. I love it.

4. Tripod collar.

5. Lacks tripod collar.

6. Mirror reflex.

7. Slide-in filters.

8. Single coated.

9. Still available.

10. Filters built-in in revolver grip.
