        I'm intriqued by Mr. Small's comments on the relative quality of
older rigid and DR Summicrons versus new ones. I have owned a DR model
since purchasing it new in 1967 and have always been very pleased with the
results. Are the newer ones not as good optically, and if so, what has
caused the degredation of the design?
