	Hi Group -

	I'm confused. Eric writes "...the next one is going to be
	a 21 Elmarit..." and then he describes the characteristics
	of this lens. Am I reading this right? Is there a 21mm
	Aspheric Elmarit now available? Or does the "... Everyone
	I've talked to who has one loves it..." refer to the non-
	aspheric design which is in the current Leica catalog?

	I'm a Leica novice but I thought that the 21mm/f2.8 Elmarit-M
	(Part No. 11 134) was NOT an aspheric design. Is there another
	version - now available - which is?

	Thanks.

	-- Wolfgang
