Peter Dechert confirmed to me, more than a decade ago, that he was simply
referring to the lens's physical size. If you ever see one, you will note
that it is probably the smallest f/2 normal LTM lens yet produced. Dechert
simply worships Kodak Ektar optical qualities: they made his early
reputation, along with Kilfitt lenses on Contax S cameras, back in that Red
Dog Saloon era.
