Spec Notes
The ORIGINAL 300/2.8 (Jan 1972): 6 elements (H=6), single-coated (multicoated later), NON-ED (Schott glass), pre-AI/preset. Built in tiny numbers (~110-140 units) for press at the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics; never catalogued. Distinct from the later ED and ED-IF 300/2.8. Most physical specs genuinely unpublished.
