Damn, Austin. WOULD YOU READ WHAT I WRITE AND RESPOND TO THAT? These were NOT demo models. They were production models to iron out production problems. Most production ran to thousands of lenses before the production system was worked out, and production then shifted to the Orient. Read Thiele for some details.
