I've never heard of this Duke's viewer - can you give more info?  New?
Easily available?  How's it compare to the model D apart from optics (which
would strike me as consideration #1)?

Me, I'm always hoping to find a model D in a yard sale for a buck, but that
pesky reality keeps intruding. (Of course, when I do find it, it'll be
right next to the $10 Macro Realist :^))
