Jackson and curv-o-mark have been bought out by Kimberly Clark. AS far as I can tell the lens your talking about is not in production anymore. The journeyman line of lenses { edit: sorry referencing the next gen line} in general had shading and clarity issues....I have seen many in shops collecting dust from sub par performance. Try your lens out....I bet if you pay attention to it, it will darken more in one area then another randomly each time it turns on. That is why my employer shelled out $450 for a boss eqc when they first came out...biggest viewing area but also they had extremely consistent shading and clarity...a huge leap over anything Jackson had before. Now they have the "Baldor" class of lenses which supposedly focuses on the worst issue with auto lenses...clear optic quality.
