Like Peter said, I think Jerry misunderstood. I did, too. I also thought that the Coke bottle pejorative was being tossed up against this legendary lens.

Was the 47mm/2 Ektar on the Retina the same as the LTM lens?


I suspect that you folks would better spend your time in reading the voluminous writings of Peter Dechert and coming to know him for the fine scholar he is before jumping to absolutely unwarranted conclusions about his praise for the 2/47 Ektar in a rather noted article in SHUDDERBUG, back in the day.

And buy my LTM lens book, where I cite Peter's comment. Of the hundreds of folks who have read the book, none have ever questioned the spirit intended by Peter when he made the remark.
