Splutter. Splutter. Ernst Abbe a-spinnin' in his grave, the ghost of Carl Zeiss wandering aimlessly, suffering eternal agonies. Wow! The basic Hologon design is hardly old, dating from the later 1960's. This particular design dates from 1994. Perhaps YOU think a 1994 design is "rather old" but, to me, it's brand-spanking-new. But, then, I happily photograph with a slew of Prewar stuff that I certainly don't perceive as "rather old", so perhaps my perspective is a bit skewed.
