Re: IML: Reverse Lens for 1966

["Jon Ricketson" <jcricketson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Chris for the clarification - that makes lsense.  So, I now wonder 
what I bought.  They are very similar to the rectangular bumper 65 lenses 
but are square cornered and do not indicate left or right - they are 
symetrical so can work on either side.  I wonder if these were used on the 
'67????
