(near the foot of the page, last entry and photo in the 44-2 section)

A friend of mine had the MMZ 44-3 version, exactly the same as the 44-2 - build and colours.Ah read somewhere that the 44-2 from MMZ "morphed" into the 44-3.

Ah have a KMZ 44 and a 44-2 which are virtually identical apart from the lens coating and v.slight difference in the focus ring. Ah think these lenses, the 44-2/3 and others in the range, were designed to overlap as the IQ was improved (allegedly) and the model numbers advanced. The only discernible differences seem to be the colour of the lens coating (as well as the fact that resolution is different)
