According to a Konica lens site( http://cyberdenis.topcities.com/lenses.htm ), "Around 1973 lenses were changed by replacing the metal focus ring to a mooth, round ruberized, checkered pattern one, and the lenses received better multi-coating." Another Konica lens site is http://home.att.net/~denis/konica/lenses.htm . I've thought of starting a thread, "Which camera maker's lenses are the closest thing to Pentax in optical quality?" If we look only at manual-focus lenses, I would have to say Konica and Olympus. Read the Olympus list, and you'll find kindred spirits. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
