I'm afraid I don't know. Our lab already had one when I started in 1973. We used it so much for copy work in the 1970's and 80's that we bought another one used, for backup, when I saw it in a camera store. In think the non-compensators replaced the original in the early seventies when TTL took over. All the later, non-comp. versions have rubberized focus rings of varying styles. Our lab used to do a lot of copy work on slide film for the Art History department, so being able to set the aperture at f/11 and leave it was a big plus.
