Sorry, Carlos. Your facts are confused. Read
Carl Mydan's comments on the Tokyo test. The
only lens involved was the 1.5/50 Nikkor. The
2/85 design of which you speak was not marketed
for more than a year thereafter. And Duncan's
initial reports also only speak of the
1.5/50. It was the 50 which got all the hype and
that was an exact copy of the Prewar CZJ design.
