  LOL. Speaking of which...

  I finally found a block diagram of the SK Xenon used on Retinas, and they
  are a dead ringer for the Opic (as heavily derived from the original
  Planar). This is really a wonderful lens. The Longar and Curtar convertibles
  are not exactly stellar, but the Xenon itself is terrific... great look and
  character...

  Anyone who want to see the diagram can contact me off list... I found lens
  diagrams for the convertibles, too...
