The Minilux has been discontinued because of lack of sales following the

introduction of the Minilux Zoom.

Despite the superior quality of the Summarit 40/2.4 lens of the Minilux,

most buyers opt for the more expensive Minilux Zoom despite its much
slower lens of 35-70/3.5-6.7...the Minilux Zoom outsells the non-zoom
Minilux by over 10:1...<<<



Arrgh! Consumers are idiots. Most probably have no idea what those
little numbers after the focal length even mean.
