Well again. I don't completely know. But it is different. I fiddled with a
new one for a week (Jeff's of KSP) but didn't like it at all. And Jeff says
the new one is better than the old. Something about screw-in adapters vs.
clamp-on adapter. The new one is screw-in and doesn't have adapters for all
sizes. I know of people who have kludged it to E55.

I do know, however, new (1970's on) polarizers don't have numbers on them.
I bought some in 1976 (still have them) and they are numberless.

So I'll continue to use the numbered Heliopan polarizers. They work swell.
