Chronology of cameras Murer et Duroni
La différence la plus évidente entre le PG20 et le MG16 devrait être l'épaisseur. D'après la nomenclature, le P signifie qu'on a affaire à un type Mince, alors que le M désigne un type courant. Or, en comparant les dimensions, on s'aperçoit que la différence est de ... 6 mm. Si cela peut justifier une distinction dans la nomenclature, la réelle différence de ces deux modèles est l'objectif, plus lumineux dans le cas du PG20.
