I think because at the onset someone grouped all the 55/1.8s together it was that way when I took over managing the index, so I left this as an exception of the rule 1 lens one thread.

The reason they were grouped is mostly because the optical formula, as far as I know, never changed

I bought this lens as my proof of concept when I branched out to M42 - if I could get 'decent' shots out of it, I'd keep it....

little did I know that it would become my gold-standard for M42 lenses...
