Fred, and other LUG'ers:

Yep, Yep---Mitsubishi does/did it all...from Leicas to Zeros (if some of you history 
buffs can remember WWII fighter planes)... then onto Nikons, and Canons...with 
intermediate stops at Sigma, Panasonic, Sony and Toyota, etc.

Yes Fred, the diamonds (three) are there...if the truth be known...
