maybe it's an echo from a relatively recent LHSA article about 
an (old) prototype 2.4 (or some strange aperture) 75.

however, the idea of replacing the 75 lux itself does not not seem 
entirely far-fetched.  aside from the even older noctilux (1976), 
the 75 lux (1980) is now the most "mature" lens left in the line.

i believe it was among the last lenses Mandler designed, and as Puts 
puts it, the last of the designs of the "classical period."
