Brings to mind our fascination with gadgets: megapixels, sensors, glass. New software, menus and displays, etc.

Agree totally: while our brother FM'ers are checking Zeiss in Canon and Nikon mounts I have one in the rare, non-image stabilized O3A3 claw mount sitting above double shutters. The glass is invisible --- maybe 1.0 --- with the focus point well defined by crisp posts rising from 3, 6 and 9. Noting finer --- or more versatile.
