Good for Prochnow but that has nothing to do with
the issue at hand. I stand by what I have
previously suggested and would ask that you
respond to that. I have tried to deal with your
messages honestly, and would ask for the same courtesy in return.
Why would F&H order 5,000 lenses which didn't
meet their needs? I doubt that this was the
case. My suggestion -- that F&H found the 1936
tweaking of the 1931 design for Zeiss Ikon
acceptable -- makes sense. F&H was a company and
had to make a profit, something they neglected in
the later 1960's to their dismay.
