I understand that the Nikkor 135 f/3.5 isn't a copy of the Zeiss f/4 Sonnar but rather was developed on its own course from a Zeiss-derived design. In a similar way the current 50 Summilux shares genetic material with the old Schneider 50 f/1.5 Xenon. - -Dave- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
