John--

Goodness gracious, I never thought I'd see the day when John C. would weigh
in on MY side! Hallelujah!

That said, I have to confess my own ignorance of the Super-Angulon for M.
I'm just not old enough to have seen any such beast, and only realized after
I read his post twice (or three times, and then checked my current Leica
manual) that Jerry was nit-picking me to death. Geez, it's hard to get ahead
in here sometimes. Some of you guys are just plain MEAN! ;-)

Jerry, I'm afraid we'll have to split that point on this one. A half-point
for you for rear cap's not fitting the Super Angulon, and a half-PINT for me
(or maybe a half-firkin?) for being reasonable.

Cheers!

Kit

The 21/3.4 SA has been out of production for twenty three years. It
also would not fit the 21/4 SA nor the first version of the 28/2.8
which have been out of production for forty and thirty one years
respectively. I am siding with Kit on this one. After twenty three
years, we can safely say there is a single standard rear cap.
